Our KiwiSaver Funds are Number 1!

Our award-winning ethical KiwiSaver Plan turned 3-years old this July. 

A milestone to be celebrated as we have an outstanding 3-Year performance record according to Morningstar - whose research and recommendations are considered by financial journalists as influential in the asset management industry. 

Our ethical inveting approach has been awarded 'Best Ethical KiwiSaver Fund Provider' by Mindful Money (2021 & 2022) and 'Responsible Investment Manager of the Year" by Good Returns/Research IP (2020 and 2021). To learn more about our ethical investing approach, and how we balance generating both wealth and well-being, read our Ethical Investing Policy.

Many people who joined us initially had to do so out of a leap of faith. Sure, we had other funds against which to judge the robustness of our investment philosophy, like our flagship Global Water Fund with 8.9% annualised returns since inception (April 2010)* but that’s not the same as a proven track record of strong returns in the KiwiSaver market. 

Which is exactly what we have now. 

In every Morningstar New Zealand Category* (Multisector -Conservative, Balanced and Growth) we are NUMBER 1 for annualised returns over the 3-year period to July 2022. 
That means our members can congratulate themselves for investing in a way that generates individual wealth and collective well-being.

We’ll keep proving that ethical investments, with strong financial returns, can help build a better future.
