Where companies source their power generation from fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, coal) to generate electricity.
One of Aotearoa New Zealand’s largest electric utilities companies. Operates three thermal power stations that employ gas and diesel. In FY2024, 81% of the energy Contact generated came from renewable energy (lower than in 2023 due to a dry winter). However, at the end of 2024 Contact opened a major new geothermal renewable facility - the Tauhara plant. It is considered to be on a climate change pathway aligned with 1.5°C of global temperature rise.
The objective of the fund is to provide an entry level option, which uses a passive investment approach to gain exposure to a balanced mix of income and growth assets. The fund is anticipated to mainly own New Zealand, Australian and international bonds and shares over the minimum suggested timeframe.

How the money in this fund is invested by asset type.
This information has been sourced from the quarterly data that each KiwiSaver fund has filed with Disclose register to 31st March 2025.
This data is compiled by Mindful Money from the fund information and portfolios
that each

filed with the Disclose register to 31st March 2025 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

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.
