Methodology & sources

Five-year return is the per-annum return after fund charges and tax published on Sorted Smart Investor, drawn from each fund's Quarterly Fund Update on the FMA Disclose register. "vs category average" is each fund's 5-year return minus the peer-group average for Australasian Equities funds, in percentage points. Funds with less than five years of history are not ranked.

Past performance is not indicative of future returns. Fees, strategy, risk level and tax treatment all matter alongside historical return. ManagedFundsNZ provides information only, not personalised financial advice — for advice, see a licensed financial adviser.
