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.

It invests in an actively managed portfolio of growth assets predominately made up of mid-large cap international equities with a very minor allocation of income assets. Volatility is likely to be very high. Returns will vary and may be low or negative at times.

Disclaimers:
  1. 10 year returns are not available for these funds as they launched within the last 10 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).

  • A combination of market and Fund returns have been used to calculate risk indicators where Funds have not existed for 5 years or have had a significant change of investment policy. More specifically, market returns have been used for the Conservative and Balanced Funds for the initial period ending 20 May 2022. Market returns were exclusively used to calculate the risk indicators for the new CashPlus Fund, new Fixed Interest Fund and new Global Fund and for the Australasian and Thematic Funds. This means that the risk indicators for all of these Funds do not reflect the actual returns and may provide a less reliable indicator of the potential future volatility of the Fund. It should also be noted that the long term targets and benchmarks were changed for most of the Funds on 30 April 2025. Again, this means the risk indicators may provide a less reliable indicator of future volatility. 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
    regarding the actual fund charges, see the latest fund update here.

  • Australasian Managed Fund

    The Australasian Managed Fund aims to provide a higher return over the long term.
