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 structural difference between these two funds is their risk profile. Resolution Capital Global Property Securities PIE Fund carries a risk indicator of 6, while Fisher Funds Property & Infrastructure Fund sits at 4 — both on the standard 1–7 scale where 7 represents highest risk. Despite identical growth asset allocations of 98.31%, this divergence likely reflects differences in portfolio construction, geographic concentration, or return volatility history.

On fees, Resolution Capital charges 1.05% per annum versus Fisher Funds' 1.53%, a 48 basis point gap that compounds meaningfully over time. Fund size is comparable: Resolution Capital holds approximately NZD 177.5 million, Fisher Funds approximately NZD 153.7 million.

For five-year returns, Fisher Funds reports 4.56% per annum; Resolution Capital's five-year return figure is not available in this snapshot, so a like-for-like performance comparison cannot be made here. Prospective investors should seek the latest Quarterly Fund Update on FMA Disclose for Resolution Capital's current return data.

Fisher Funds' top holdings lean toward global utilities and infrastructure — NextEra Energy (8.2%), CMS Energy (6.21%), American Tower (5.46%) — alongside property via Goodman Group. Resolution Capital concentrates more narrowly in REITs: Welltower (9.41%), Equinix (8.41%), Simon Property Group (4.85%), with a notable 8.18% cash position at BNZ appearing in its top five.
