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 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 Conservative Fund is invested up to 20% in shares and other growth assets, with the remainder invested in cash and fixed interest assets. Its objective is to exceed over the relevant timeframe the returns you would receive from investing 85% of your funds in New Zealand fixed interest and cash assets and 15% in global shares, through active asset allocation and active selection of shares, fixed interest and cash assets."
