Outstanding ASB KiwiSaver Scheme Fund Performance

The survey shows strong performance for all ASB KiwiSaver Scheme funds across their relative categories. In particular, the research house has reported our Growth Fund as the top performer in its respective peer group for the past year and three years to 31 December 2016, with the Balanced Fund also the best performing fund in its peer group over the past year.

This result highlights our proven expertise and capability with managing our customers’ money. We spoke to ASB’s General Manager Wealth, Jonathan Beale, about our investment approach and how this is helping customers meet their savings goals:

 “This is great news as it is another outstanding outcome for our KiwiSaver members. I am delighted that our robust investment approach is helping our customers meet their long term savings goals”.

Further to the excellent performance results, ASB Group Investments Limited, the manager of the ASB KiwiSaver Scheme, has recently been nominated as a finalist in the KiwiSaver category of the 2017 Morningstar Awards.

The awards are held on the 1^st March 2017 and we are hoping for another great outcome.
