Returns are a reflection of past performance and are not a guarantee or indication of future performance because returns fluctuate (move up and down). Returns can be negative and you may receive back less than the total amount of your contributions.
The Positive Impact Fund was wound up on 15 January 2025.

March Wrap Up - Reversals and the value of diversification
Tariffs, rapidly changing geopolitics, and weak consumer sentiment made it harder to forecast the pace of company earnings growth and the right level of interest rates in March. Uncertain markets demonstrate the importance of having a well-diversified portfolio, which is central to how we manage your money at ASB - this has at least cushioned the blow from the tough start to the year. Read more in the March Wrap Up.
- Contributions were first invested into the funds on 2 October 2007 (except for the Aggressive Fund). Contributions were first invested into the Aggressive Fund on 22 November 2023.
- The returns are calculated on the change in unit price of the units in each fund for the period, adjusted for tax credits, and are the returns on funds invested at the beginning of the period, with no subsequent contributions or withdrawals. Returns for periods greater than 1 year are annualised. Returns for periods less than 1 year are not annualised.
- Since 7 September 2012, the cash portion of each fund has been managed using an active investment management style. The returns in previous periods reflect an index tracking investment management style for cash.
- Prior to 1 April 2011, the management fee was calculated and incorporated into the unit price daily, and deducted from the relevant fund monthly. From 1 April 2011, the management fee has not been incorporated into the unit price or deducted from the fund, but deducted from members accounts monthly. In order to display returns pre and post 1 April 2011 on a comparable basis, the management fee has been factored back in to the returns for the periods from 1 April 2011.
- A monthly administration fee of $2.50 applied until 28 September 2021 and is excluded from the calculation of the returns disclosed.
