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 options. The philosophy behind SuperLife is that investing in a more passive manner would provide greater long-term outcomes. They don't believe that investing in and out of the market on a frequent basis is always beneficial to investors.
In March 2022, investors weighed the implications of the invasion war and the accompanying sanctions on Russia on economic growth, energy prices, and global trade. Overall, this had a significant impact on financial markets throughout the globe.
