This data is compiled by Mindful Money from the fund information and portfolios that each KiwiSaver fund has filed with the Disclose register to Tue March 31st 2020 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.

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 their policy may be less stringent than 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.

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. Further diversification during the year includes a loan for property and an investment in a fixed income investment product. 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."
