Simplicity Overtakes Milford as Top KiwiSaver Performer Over 10 Years
Published
A KiwiSaver fund from Simplicity has taken first place from Milford for the best returns over ten years, according to new data from Morningstar. Milford had held the top spot for a long time, so the change is important for people who follow KiwiSaver performance closely.
KiwiSaver is New Zealand's voluntary retirement savings scheme, and many New Zealanders compare fund returns when they decide where to invest their money. Morningstar, an independent research company, publishes these figures to help investors understand how funds have performed over different periods of time.
The Simplicity growth fund's strong result is linked to the performance of technology stocks. Shares in technology companies have grown in value in recent years, and funds that hold these shares have often done well. However, the report does not say that Simplicity's result will continue in the future, and past returns are not a guarantee of future results.
For New Zealand savers, the new rankings show how quickly the position of a top fund can change. Investors who are thinking about their KiwiSaver choices are generally encouraged to look at several factors, such as fees, risk level and their own long-term goals, rather than only the latest league table.
