Fund Overview
Invest in 20 of the largest listed blue-chip companies in New Zealand that are collectively worth over $100 billion. The fund provides broad diversification across a range of sectors including utilities, real estate, telecommunication and healthcare. Large and liquid, these companies account for much of the daily trading on the NZX and their competitive positioning means these companies have been more resilient to market declines. This fund is likely to fluctuate with the world view of New Zealand, including our exchange rate, interest rate and export appeal.

Risk and Returns
The risk indicator reflects how much the value of the Fund’s assets goes up and down (volatility). A higher risk generally means higher potential returns over time, but more ups and downs along the way. The lowest risk rating doesn’t mean “risk-free” and this risk indicator is not a guarantee of a Fund’s future performance. For more information, read our monthly fact sheet or most recent Fund Update.
