This data is compiled by Mindful Money from the fund information and portfolios
that each KiwiSaver fund has
filed with the Disclose register to 30th Sept. 2022 and Mindful Money
analysis of funds within those portfolios. The list of companies of concern has
been drawn from ratings agencies and public sources, including the Norwegian
Sovereign Fund, NZ Super Fund, Sustainalytics and research organisations.
Please note that companies may breach more than one of these areas of
concern.
The listing of companies of concern is based on definitions used in Mindful Money's
methodology. These definitions may
be different from the exclusions policy and definitions applied by the fund provider.
Mindful Money uses the term Mindful Funds as our standard
for ethical investment and responsible investment. This does not imply that
other funds are unethical or that the fund providers that do not meet these
standards are unethical providers.
About this fund
In their own words
The Shielded Growth Fund invests predominantly in growth assets and uses options contracts to partially ‘shield’ the fund against (limit the impact of) more significant short-term downward movements of the value of the fund’s investments. It is suited to investors who are comfortable with a medium to high level of risk in order to potentially achieve relatively higher returns, but who are willing to forgo some return due to the cost of the options strategy.

Investment Exclusions
Does this fund exclude companies that cause deep concern to New Zealanders? The first column shows if the fund has a credible policy to exclude the issue. The second column shows if there are any current investments (source: Mindful Money research).
Note that the fund’s exclusions policy may not be consistent with its portfolio holdings because the fund might be still implementing its policy change or the fund’s exclusion policy and thresholds may be different from the definitions applied by Mindful Money.

Note that many KiwiSaver
funds exclude controversial weapons. However, the category of Weapons used in
this analysis is broader in scope, covering all munitions, firearms and
military weapons. Similarly Mindful Money uses a broader scope for fossil fuels
than the government’s rules for default KiwiSaver funds. The full definitions
used in the Mindful Money analysis are here.
