ANZ Investments OneAnswer Balanced Growth Fund vs ANZ Investments OneAnswer Growth Fund

Both are Diversified funds available to NZ retail investors. Numbers below are sourced from the FMA Disclose register via Sorted Smart Investor and reflect the latest published quarterly fund updates.

Why these two differ

The most material observation about these two funds is that every disclosed data point across both is identical, which raises a data integrity flag rather than a meaningful structural difference. The ANZ Investments OneAnswer Balanced Growth Fund and the ANZ Investments OneAnswer Growth Fund share the same manager, the same diversified category, the same annual fund charge of 0.95%, the same risk indicator of 4 out of 7, the same five-year return of 3.69%, the same fund size of NZD 45,614,934.86, the same growth assets allocation of 78.48%, the same top five holdings in the same weights, and they resolve to the same PDS URL and the same Sorted smart investor URL. Funds with different names — one carrying "Balanced Growth" and the other "Growth" — would ordinarily be expected to differ meaningfully in their growth-to-income asset split and risk profile, since those labels conventionally signal different mandates. The fact that the snapshot data is entirely duplicated suggests either a data-feed error in the underlying QFU records or that the two funds have been merged and one entry is a legacy record. No differentiated information is currently available in this snapshot to distinguish the two products. Investors who hold, or are considering, a managed fund account in either of these offerings should verify current portfolio composition, mandate, and fee structure against each fund's individual product disclosure statement and latest quarterly fund update on FMA Disclose before relying on any figures presented here.

Comparison generated 2026-07-05 from each fund's FMA Disclose QFU facts as at that date. If the underlying facts change, this narrative is withheld until it is regenerated — the tables on this page always reflect the current data.
