KiwiSaver, New Zealand’s nationwide pension scheme, has boosted its assets under management to NZ$11.63 billion as of the end of last year.

Funds under management rose 7.5 per cent or NZ$580 million on December 31 from September 30 when they were $10.82 billion.

“There have been very strong flows, $500 billion a quarter for several quarters,” says Daniel Morris, an analyst at actuaries and researchers Plan For Life, that issued a statement on KiwiSaver.

“The fund has a fairly conservative investment strategy,” says Morris.

The fund has 1.9 million members out of a population of 4.4 million. Its investment options include cash, cash and bonds, bonds, cash and shares, shares and property and a mainly stock portfolio.

Morris expects a “steady, upward trend” of money flowing into KiwiSaver.

Asset managers that underestimate the importance of artificial intelligence to their businesses do so at their own peril, according to Anton Eser, global chief investment officer of Robeco, who thinks that many have less than a year to get across the “most important transformation” the industry has seen since the beginning of the index business more than 25 years ago.
