Why these two differ
The most material structural difference between these two funds is their asset allocation. ANZ Investments OneAnswer Property Securities Fund holds 98.31% in growth assets, making it an almost entirely growth-oriented portfolio. NZ Funds New Zealand Property and Retirement Villages sits at 53.15% growth assets, meaning roughly half the portfolio is allocated to income or other non-growth asset classes — a substantially more mixed construction despite both funds carrying the same Listed Property category label and an identical risk indicator of 5 out of 7.
The fee gap is also significant. ANZ OneAnswer Property Securities charges 1.06% per annum; NZ Funds New Zealand Property and Retirement Villages charges 2.52% — a difference of 1.46 percentage points annually that compounds materially over time. On the return side, ANZ OneAnswer discloses a five-year annualised return of 4.18%, while NZ Funds does not disclose a five-year figure in this snapshot, so a like-for-like performance comparison is not possible here.
Portfolio composition reflects the allocation gap. ANZ's top holdings are dominated by diversified listed property trusts including Goodman Group (18.31%) and Scentre Group, with an Australian and New Zealand spread. NZ Funds' top holdings include Ryman Healthcare (8.42%) and Summerset Group Holdings (8.27%), reflecting explicit retirement village exposure absent from the ANZ fund. Both funds are similar in size — ANZ at approximately NZD 43.3 million, NZ Funds at approximately NZD 43.7 million.
