Why these two differ
The most material structural difference between these two funds is how they access international equities. The ANZ Investments OneAnswer International Listed Infrastructure Fund invests directly in listed infrastructure companies — its top five positions are individual stocks including Cellnex Telecom (6.47%), Getlink (5.88%), and Severn Trent (5.08%), concentrating exposure in telecommunications, transport, and utilities infrastructure. The SBS Wealth World Equity Portfolio, by contrast, is a fund-of-funds: nearly half its portfolio (47.43%) sits in a single underlying vehicle, the Dimensional Global Sustainability PIE Fund (NZD Hedged), with additional allocations to Schroder, Munro, and Kernel funds. This layered structure means SBS Wealth investors bear an additional layer of underlying fund costs beyond the stated 1.18% annual fund charge, whereas ANZ Investments charges 0.84% for direct stock exposure. That fee gap of 34 basis points is meaningful over time, though the ANZ fund's narrower infrastructure mandate introduces sector concentration risk absent from the broader SBS portfolio.
Both funds carry a risk indicator of 5 and hold growth assets at identical 98.31% weightings. Fund sizes are comparable — ANZ at NZD 97.1 million, SBS Wealth at NZD 94.4 million. SBS Wealth discloses a five-year return of 9.21% per annum; the ANZ fund's five-year return figure is not available in this snapshot. Neither fund is a KiwiSaver scheme account.
