Returns shown are average per-year (annualised) after fees and before tax, for each provider’s growth fund. Some providers have less than 10 years of history, so longer periods may show fewer providers. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns.

Please do your own due diligence.

These figures are indicative only, drawn from published KiwiSaver surveys and provider disclosures, and rounded for readability. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns. First Home Buy does not recommend, endorse or receive any commission from any KiwiSaver provider. Fund names, fees and the way returns are reported differ between providers, so the numbers here may not be directly comparable. Before choosing or switching a provider or fund, read the provider’s Product Disclosure Statement, check the latest figures on the FMA’s Smart Investor tool (sorted.org.nz), and consider getting advice from a licensed financial adviser.
