This is a snapshot of the proportion of growth assets (shares, property, other) or income assets (cash, bonds) that this fund held on 30 September 2024.

Different mix, different result

As you invest, your mix (often called "asset allocation") is the most significant factor that will determine the results you get, including the ups and downs in value you experience. It's important to get right.

Choosing a specific mix is a way of dialling your risk up or down, depending on the amount of growth assets you take on board. The more risk you take on, the higher your returns are likely to be, although this is no sure thing. That's what risk is all about.

For the most appropriate mix for you and your situation (often called your "risk profile"), see Sorted's investor kickstarter for managed funds, or answer these three questions for KiwiSaver funds.

Cash typically includes term deposits, floating-rate notes and money market accounts. Cash, which is often a loan to a bank, is considered an income asset. Here's more on investing in term deposits.

Risks

Specific risks for this fund

Chasing higher returns while investing always increases risks. Several kinds of risks, actually. It is important to evaluate whether the returns are worth it, whether you can cope, and whether this investment will in fact help you achieve your goals. Also, since the way an investment is structured can make it riskier, it's important to understand how it works.

You'll find the specific risks in the Risk section of the PDS, and here's more about understanding risk.
