OneAnswer KiwiSaver Performance – September 2023

Using the most recent returns and fund update reports as of September 2023, we will examine OneAnswer’s recent KiwiSaver performance. 

OneAnswer is a KiwiSaver scheme run by ANZ bank. It is run by ANZ Investments. The bank of ANZ itself was established in Sydney, Australia under the Royal Charter. It was established in New Zealand in 1840, making it New Zealand’s oldest bank. It has a strong heritage in Business Banking and offers a full range of banking options, including Personal, Rural, Corporate, Commercial, Institutional and Private Banking. In 1951, UBA and the Bank of Australasia merged to become Australia and New Zealand Bank (ANZ Bank).

ANZ moved its corporate headquarters to Melbourne, Australia in 1976, and three years later an Act of Parliament permitted ANZ to incorporate its branches in New Zealand as ANZ Banking Group (New Zealand) Ltd. ANZ sold 25% of the shares to the public.
