About this fund

In their own words

The fund is invested principally in term deposits with New Zealand-registered banks but also has a small exposure to a loan made on arm’s length terms to an organisation within the Brethren Christian Fellowship. The investments includes a loan for property and the investment in a fixed income investment product was closed. Further diversification could happen once the fund reaches a critical size (as determined by the Trustee). The current investment objective for the fund is to achieve a real return (before investment costs and tax) which exceeds the return of the S&P/NZX 90 Day Bank Bill Index over rolling one-year periods.
