Fund-specific answers
Where we've already produced an answer for a fund whose Google PAA includes this question, that answer is shown below — grounded in the fund's own filed data. Not personal financial advice.
Mercer Macquarie NZ Fixed Interest Fund
Where can I get 10% return on my money?
Fixed-interest funds typically deliver lower returns than growth-focused investments, reflecting their lower risk profile. This fund's 5-year return after fees was 0.71% p.a.; substantially higher returns generally require exposure to growth assets and carry higher risk.

Where can I get a 10% return on my money?
No investment can guarantee a specific return rate. The Octagon Australasian Equities Fund achieved 9.1% p.a. after fees over 5 years, but past performance is not indicative of future results. Higher potential returns generally come with higher risk; review the fund's risk indicator (5/7 on the FMA standardised scale) and PDS before investing.

Where can I get a 10% return on my money?
Investment returns vary by fund, market conditions, and time period, and historical returns are not a guide to future performance.
