*Expected returns are calculated based on long-run expectations for investment markets and fund performance, and are not a guarantee of future results. The calculation takes information on how market returns have varied in the past and gives a range of what is assessed to be likely in the future. The ranges of expected returns have been calculated using a statistical tool of 2 ½ standard deviations of return volatility – this means that actual returns are expected to fall outside these ranges 1 year out of every 100. While these ranges may be used as a guide, due to the uncertainty inherent in financial markets they are also not guaranteed.

What’s your next goal for your KiwiSaver savings?
When do you plan to make a significant lump sum withdrawal for this goal?
Suppose you had $20,000 in your KiwiSaver account. How much could the value of your account go down by in a year before you started to feel really uncomfortable?
Should we suggest a socially responsible investment fund to match your goals? This will only display if one is available.
Investing is a long-term plan. Generally, if you have a longer investment timeframe, you may be able to take on more risk than you realise. Based on your answers, you might benefit from speaking with a financial advice provider to work out the right fund for your savings goals. Give us a call on 0800 336 338 and we’ll help you with that.
