ANZ Investments OneAnswer High Growth Fund vs Harbour Balanced 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 structural difference between these two funds is their allocation to growth assets. The ANZ Investments OneAnswer High Growth Fund holds 98.37% in growth assets — effectively a near-pure equity portfolio — and carries a risk indicator of 5. The Harbour Balanced Growth Fund sits at 78.34% growth assets with a risk indicator of 4, meaning it retains a more meaningful allocation to income-style assets and is rated one step lower on the standardised risk scale.

On fees, ANZ Investments charges 0.95% annually versus Harbour's 1.04%, a difference of nine basis points. Fund sizes are comparable: ANZ Investments at approximately $67.1 million and Harbour at approximately $59.9 million.

Five-year return data is available only for Harbour, which recorded 1.78% per annum over that period; ANZ Investments' five-year return figure is absent from this snapshot, so a direct historical performance comparison cannot be made here.

The ANZ OneAnswer fund is offered under a KiwiSaver scheme, meaning holdings are within your KiwiSaver scheme account; Harbour's fund appears to operate as a standalone managed fund — investors should confirm the product structure relevant to their circumstances.

Both funds share some equity overlap: Fisher & Paykel Healthcare and Infratil appear in each fund's top holdings. Harbour's top positions also include private equity exposures (TPG Private Equity Opportunities Fund and GD1 Fund 3 L.P.), which are absent from ANZ's disclosed top five and represent a structurally different liquidity profile.
