How this list is built
- The filter is purely mechanical — funds are included only if they match the criterion shown above. No editorial judgement, no opinion-based ranking.
- Sort order is annual fund charge ascending; funds with no fee data on file are listed at the bottom alphabetically.
- Annual fund charge data comes from the FMA Disclose register via Sorted Smart Investor; risk-profile, ETF, hedge and responsible-investment flags come from the manager's own disclosure.
- This page is not financial advice. ManagedFundsNZ is not a Financial Advice Provider. Read the relevant Product Disclosure Statement and consider talking to a licensed adviser before investing.
