📈 Investments & Managed Funds

Build real wealth beyond KiwiSaver. Tailored investment strategies using professionally managed funds — aligned to your goals.

What Are Managed Funds?

Managed funds are professionally managed portfolios investing across shares, bonds, and property. Unlike KiwiSaver, managed funds offer greater flexibility — access your money before retirement and contribute or withdraw as needed.

💡 KiwiSaver is a great start — but for real wealth building, managed investments are the next step.

Who Should Invest?

  • Professionals with surplus income
  • Anyone wanting to build wealth beyond KiwiSaver
  • Individuals with lump sums (inheritance, bonuses)
  • Investors wanting better returns than term deposits
  • Those building wealth for a specific goal

Fund Types

  • Conservative: Capital preservation focus
  • Balanced: Moderate growth with stability
  • Growth: Higher long-term return focus
  • Aggressive: Maximum growth, long timeframes

Common Mistakes

  • Investing too conservatively and missing growth
  • Reacting to market drops and locking in losses
  • No clear investment strategy or goal
  • Insufficient diversification across assets

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Honest answers about investments in New Zealand.

Are managed funds better than KiwiSaver? +
They serve different purposes. KiwiSaver is locked in for retirement. Managed funds offer more flexibility and can be used alongside KiwiSaver for a more complete wealth-building strategy.
How much do I need to start? +
Many managed funds allow regular contributions from a few hundred dollars per month — you don’t need a large lump sum to start.
Can I withdraw anytime? +
Generally yes — managed funds are more liquid than KiwiSaver. Timing should align with your strategy to avoid selling at unfavourable times.
What returns can I expect? +
Depends on fund type and conditions. Growth funds typically aim for higher long-term returns with more short-term volatility.
Are managed funds safe? +
Regulated by the FMA in NZ, but all investments carry risk. Diversification and a long-term approach significantly reduce risk.
Should I invest or pay down my mortgage first? +
Depends on interest rates, risk tolerance, and goals. We model both scenarios and help you make an informed decision.
