Welcome to the June edition of the Generate Member Newsletter.
There's no doubt 2022 has been rough for markets. But it's important to remember that market volatility is normal, the best thing you can do is stay calm and stay the course.
Markets can go up and down for all kinds of reasons - but they generally trend upwards. In fact over the last 30 years, the S&P 500 increased by 1,703%, (or 10% per year) despite many market dips and blips. That’s why all market commentators generally recommend that staying put and playing the long game will leave investors better off.
KiwiSaver is a long-term investment, and long-term performance is the goal.
And while all KiwiSaver providers have been impacted by market volatility, we're proud to still be one of the best performing providers for long-term performance. The latest data from independent observer, Morningstar, shows our Focused Growth Fund ranked 2nd for 5-year results in the multi-sector aggressive category, the Growth Fund ranked 4th for 5-year results in the multi-sector growth category, and our Moderate Fund ranked 1st for 5-year results in the multi-sector moderate category^.

Market updateInflation and central bank tightening continued to be cause for concern. The US stock market, as measured by S&P500, fell over -7.5% during the month before recovering in the last week of May to close just -0.7% lower. The volatility came as markets tried to gauge the impact of higher interest rates driven by more hawkish central banks. China persisted with lockdowns of major cities which added to both global growth concerns and further supply chain disruptions... |
