Kiwisaver Conservative Fund
Pathfinder's KiwiSaver Conservative Fund aims to preserve your KiwiSaver balance, with some growth.
Why Conservative?
Ethical investing to achieve modest returns with a lower risk exposure.
Performance
Ethical investing to achieve modest returns with a lower risk focus, with a higher exposure to income assets and lower exposure to growth assets. The Fund's value is unlikely to fluctuate as much as the Balanced Fund or Growth Fund.
Past performance is no guarantee of future return. We encourage all investors to seek independent financial advice prior to making investment decisions.

Risk Level
This Fund is suited to an investor with a lower tolerance to risk and a minimum investment timeframe of 3+ years.
The rating reflects how much the value of the Fund’s assets goes up and down (volatility). A higher risk generally means higher potential returns over time, but more ups and downs along the way. This risk indicator is not a guarantee of a fund’s future performance. The Fund does not have a five-year history. The risk indicators were prepared using relevant market index returns from April 2016 to July 2019 (when the Fund was not in exsistence) and its returns since then. While risk indicators are usually relatively stable, they do shift from time to time. You can see the most recent risk indicator in the latest fund update for the Funds.
