  • Fabook Messenger Sharing Link

Using the most recent returns from September 2021, we will examine Foundation Series recent KiwiSaver Performance.

Foundation Series is run by Invest Now, which is a New Zealand-based online investment platform that gives Kiwi investors the opportunity to invest in KiwiSaver, Managed Funds and Term Deposits from fund managers and banks around the world. It is designed specifically to give everyday New Zealanders the ability to invest without needing to go through a financial advisor or broker. However, you will receive very little financial advice.

During September, there were many negative returns, possibly due to the Covid pandemic, economic state and lockdown. Despite this, there is a more positive outlook from October and November, with returns on track being positive with the ending of lockdown and the markets readjusting after Covid.

Foundation Series Balanced Fund

The Foundation Series Balanced Fund is intended to perform in line with the return of its investment benchmark over the long term. The Balanced Fund's strategy aims for mid-range long-term returns by investing in a diversified portfolio with a balance of income and growth assets for investors with a balanced tolerance. The 1-month return for the fund was 1.71%, and the 1-year return was 9.19%. Because the fund has not been in existence for long (2nd Sep 2020), there is no long term past performance to indicate future performance.
