Methodology & sources

Each fund's after-fee, after-tax annual return is compared to the annual return of the market index it names in its FMA fund update. We count the years the fund's return exceeded that index. Funds with fewer than 3 measured years are not ranked.

Past performance is not indicative of future returns. ManagedFundsNZ provides information only, not personalised financial advice — for advice, see a licensed financial adviser.
