In their own words

"The Conservative Fund is invested up to 35% in shares andother growth assets with the remainder invested in cash andfixed interest assets. Its objective is to exceed the returns youwould receive from investing 70% of your funds in NewZealand fixed interest assets and cash and 30% in globalshares, through active asset allocation and active selection ofshares and other growth assets, fixed interest and cash assets. Kiwi Wealth is 100% Kiwi-owned and operated and our team is based right here in New Zealand. We're ultimately owned by the NZ Super Fund, ACC and NZ Post, so our profits stay in New Zealand too. We invest our members’ money in companies that meet our strict environmental, social and governance criteria. For example, we don’t invest in nuclear weapons, tobacco and whaling. Your money not only gets invested in New Zealand but across the globe too, helping to diversify your investment."
