Generate Managed Funds

Generate Managed Funds make investing simple and stress-free.

Smart, easy investing

Explore our funds

Managed Funds work in a similar way to KiwiSaver funds, but you get to control how much and how often you want to invest, and when you want to withdraw your funds. Individuals only need $1,000¹ to get started, and from there our team of expert fund managers will actively manage your investment, making all the tough decisions about when and what to invest in.

Disclaimers:
  1. 5 year returns are not available for these funds as they launched within the last 5 years.

  • The actual investment mix may vary from the target asset allocation as we pursue tactical investment opportunities, or as we seek to protect asset values in periods of market volatility. For further information about the funds’ investment activities see the Statement of Investment Policy and Objectives (SIPO).

  • As the Funds have not been in existence for 5 years the risk indicators have been calculated using a combination of actual returns and market index returns, and/or market index returns only. Market index returns have been used from 31 March 2019 to 30 November 2019 for the Focused Growth Managed Fund, from 31 March 2019 to 16 May 2022 for the Conservative and Balanced Managed Funds, and from 31 March 2019 to 21 July 2023 for the Australasian and Thematic Managed Funds. As a result, the risk indicators may provide a less reliable indicator of the potential future volatility of the Funds. See the PDS for more information.

  • Estimate for the year ahead. Annual fund charges for the fund are made up of: the base management fee; any third party underlying fund fees, and contains estimates For details
