What the provider says
The High Growth Fund invests primarily in growth assets, which generally have higher levels of risk with the potential for higher returns. It may also allocate investment to income assets, which generally have lower levels of risk and potential returns. It aims to achieve the highest returns of the Funds in the BNZ KiwiSaver Scheme over the long term.

How it is managed
Management style: Mix of active and passive. The provider uses both active management and index tracking in this fund. This describes how the fund is run, not whether one style is better.
Both active management (which aims to achieve a return that is higher than that of a market index) and passive management (which aims to achieve a return that is close to that of a market index) have a place in investment management.

The risk indicator measures how much a fund's returns have moved, not how many investments it holds, so it cannot show concentration on its own. Two funds that hold the same index can carry different indicators. Shares are as the provider disclosed them, and a total above 100% is the provider's own figure.

Returns the provider has disclosed
These are the provider's own figures from its fund update. They are the register's "net" returns, which are after the fund's charges and after tax, so they will not match the Morningstar figures in the headline and in the next section, which are after charges and before tax. Read each on its own terms.

Cam compares KiwiSaver providers and funds across the wider NZ market, and a fund appearing here, or on his implementation panel, is not a recommendation. Whether a fund suits you depends on your goals, timeframe and comfort with risk. How Solid Steele is paid depends on the provider and is set out in the disclosure statement.
