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.

Rest Super’s selective approach to PE pays off as program comes of age

Rest Super has built its private equity program around a deliberately selective approach to manager and deal selection, favouring a concentrated roster of external partners and proactively seeking out top PE firms rather than waiting for them to come knocking. Head of private markets Marina Pasika unpacks the program’s coming of age and what powered an asset class return more than double the peer average in the last financial year.
