Superlife KiwiSaver Scheme On Cam's implementation panel Currently rebranding to Smart KiwiSaver

Superlife Global Property Fund is an aggressive fund in the Superlife KiwiSaver Scheme. Its provider discloses a risk indicator of 6 out of 7 and an annual fund charge of 0.58%. This page sets out what the provider has disclosed on the Disclose Register, with the Morningstar return where there is one. It is general information, not a recommendation to join or switch.

Source: Morningstar KiwiSaver Survey, the three months to 30 September 2026, published 29 October 2026. Morningstar files it under Property. Returns are annualised: each figure is a return per year, averaged across the period shown. Figures are net of the fund's annual charges and before your own tax. KiwiSaver is taxed at your prescribed investor rate, so two people in the same fund keep different amounts, and fixed dollar member fees are not reflected in a percentage. Past performance does not guarantee future returns.

What the provider says

Invests in international property and is designed to track the return (before tax, fees and other expenses) of the FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed ex-Australia Rental Net Tax Index (100% NZD Hedged)

The fund's own description, as disclosed on the Disclose Register. Fund start date: 24 October 2007.

What the fund invests in

Asset mix
Asset class	Target	Actual
Listed property	100.00%	100.10%
Cash and cash equivalents	0.00%	-0.10%

Actual allocation as at 30 June 2026. Asset classes held at 0% are left out.

How it is managed

Management style: Passive (index tracking). The fund tracks a market index rather than having a manager pick investments. This describes how the fund is run, not whether one style is better.

Passive with their growth assets and active with the income assets.

In Cam Steele's words, 31 October 2026. The provider's published documents do not set this out in these terms, so it rests on Cam's own knowledge of the scheme.

How spread out is it?

Holdings the provider lists	6
The ten largest, together	101.8%
Largest single holding	IShares Core FTSE Global Property ex Australia AUD Hedged ETF, 101.7% of the fund

102% of this fund is in one holding. A holding can itself be a fund or an ETF that holds many investments, and the register does not show what is inside it, so read the provider's Product Disclosure Statement for what sits underneath.

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.

Fees and charges

Fees disclosed by the provider
Charge	Disclosed
Total annual fund charge	0.58%

Performance-based fees	0.00%

Charges as a share of the amount invested. A blank on the register is shown as not stated. How an adviser is paid is separate, and is set out in our disclosure statement.

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.

Returns reported by Morningstar

Morningstar annualised returns
Period	This fund
10 years	3.3%
5 years	-0.6%
3 years	7.0%

Annualised returns a year as at 30 September 2026, from the Morningstar KiwiSaver Survey, published 29 October 2026. Returns are annualised: each figure is a return per year, averaged across the period shown. Figures are net of the fund's annual charges and before your own tax. KiwiSaver is taxed at your prescribed investor rate, so two people in the same fund keep different amounts, and fixed dollar member fees are not reflected in a percentage. Morningstar publishes category averages for its five multi-sector categories only, so there is none to show for this fund. Past performance does not guarantee future returns.

Where this comes from

Fund details are from the Disclose Register (opens in a new tab), read on 31 October 2026. The Morningstar return is from the same report as the Morningstar returns comparison. Read the provider's current Product Disclosure Statement before you decide.

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. A free KiwiSaver session is the way to see how it applies to you.
