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.
