Dexus Global REIT Fund vs Fisher Funds Property & Infrastructure Fund

Both are Listed Property 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 difference between these two funds is the availability of disclosure data. The Dexus Global REIT Fund's fee, risk indicator, five-year return, fund size, asset allocation, and top holdings are all absent from our current snapshot — meaning a meaningful side-by-side comparison on those dimensions is not possible. Fisher Funds Property & Infrastructure Fund, by contrast, discloses a full picture: an annual fund charge of 1.53%, a risk indicator of 4 out of 7, a five-year return of 5.08% per annum, a fund size of approximately NZ$162.8 million, and a growth asset allocation of 98.31%.

Both funds sit in the Listed Property category, though Fisher Funds' portfolio extends explicitly into infrastructure, as reflected in its top five holdings: American Tower Corporation (7.45%), NextEra Energy (7.31%), Aena SME S.A. (5.69%), CMS Energy Corporation (5.25%), and Goodman Group (4.76%). This blend of utilities, tower infrastructure, airports, and traditional REITs suggests a broader mandate than the name "Listed Property" alone implies. Whether Dexus Global REIT Fund takes a purer REIT-only approach cannot be confirmed from the data available here.

Both are retail managed funds, not KiwiSaver scheme accounts. Fisher Funds provides a PDS and a Sorted Smart Investor profile for further research; equivalent Dexus disclosure documents are not surfaced in this snapshot.

Readers should verify all figures — including any updates to Dexus's disclosure — against each fund's current Product Disclosure Statement and latest Quarterly Fund Update on FMA Disclose before relying on any of this information.
