Diversified Funds in New Zealand

Four questions investors most often ask about diversified funds in the ManagedFundsNZ coverage. Numbers are computed at build time from the FMA Disclose register and checked at publish.

What is a diversified fund?

Multi-asset funds that hold a mix of shares, bonds, cash and sometimes property in a single portfolio. The mix determines the risk profile — aggressive funds hold more shares, conservative funds hold more bonds and cash.

What's the FMA risk-indicator range?

Funds in this category carry FMA risk indicators between 3 and 6 on the 1-to-7 standard scale (where 1 is the lowest historical volatility band and 7 the highest), measured across the 67 funds in the category that publish a risk-indicator value. The FMA's risk indicator is a backwards-looking measure of return volatility — it does not predict future loss.
