Overview

The Kiwi Wealth KiwiSaver Scheme CashPlus Investment Fund aims to provide strong returns for investors with a 0-3 year time horizon. Responsible Investment forms a core part of our investment process, and we look to exclude companies that significantly victimise people and the environment, or that routinely fall foul of the law. Apart from specific exclusions, we also believe it’s important to take environmental, social and governance issues into account across all investments as these can impact the financial performance of the companies we invest in.
