Our conservative fund also had a strong month. Second, Generate won the ‘Investment Provider of the Year’ as chosen by the Professional Advisers Association. It is the second year running that we have won the award and is testament to the continuing hard work of our entire team. |

Warren Buffett WisdomsAfter 50 years at the helm of Berkshire Hathaway (which is typically one of our largest investments for both of our growth funds) Warren Buffett has become widely regarded as the world’s greatest investor. In his annual letters to shareholders, and in various interviews he has given, he has shared many of the lessons he has learned during his career. This month:“Every day, in countless ways, the competitive position of each of our businesses grows either weaker or stronger. If we are delighting customers, eliminating unnecessary costs and improving our products and services, we gain strength. But if we treat customers with indifference or tolerate bloat, our businesses will wither. On a daily basis, the effects of our actions are imperceptible; cumulatively, though, their consequences are enormous…” This quote really resonates with us as it gets to the heart of what Buffett looks for in a business. It is also a maxim that we live by “on a daily basis” in the way we run your Scheme i.e. “be nimble, be lean and look after you as our members!” |

“Investing 101”Time in the marketAll investments need to be considered in the context of time. Time is particularly important with more volatile investments such as shares. The more volatile the investment, the greater the time required to ‘ride out’ any possible downturns in the investment’s value and maximise long-term returns. The locked in nature of KiwiSaver ensures that most people get to benefit from having time in the market. When a member is close to withdrawing funds from his or her KiwiSaver account - such as for a first home deposit - it can often be wise to have one’s investments in a conservative fund as the member doesn’t have the time available to recoup any potential short term losses. |
