Using the most recent returns and fund update reports from June 2022 Quarter, we will examine SuperLife’s recent KiwiSaver Performance.
SuperLife is managed by Smartshares Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of NZX Limited. SuperLife has over 50,000 members and offers KiwiSaver, investment, superannuation, and insurance services. SuperLife is also one of six government-appointed default KiwiSaver providers in which their KiwiSaver funds are structured to follow a passive investment management approach aiming to provide more significant long-term outcomes.
In the June quarter, the cost of living in New Zealand significantly increased due to the negative impacts of Covid-19 and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Furthermore, the Reserve Bank Of New Zealand (RBNZ) reports that inflation has reached a 32-year high of 7.3%. In response to this, the RBNZ has increased the official cash (OCR) to 3.0% percent taking it to a seven-year high to reduce inflation. Therefore, these societal and economic pressures have made it difficult for markets to perform, which can be seen in the returns for this quarter.
