Impact on KiwiSaver Investors: Navigating Risk and Opportunity
Clive Fernandes, Director of National Capital, expressed his enthusiasm for the investment and said, “Not only will this help New Zealand’s technology companies grow and succeed, but it also brings potential long-term monetary benefits for investors willing to take a risk. We look forward to seeing how this fund will impact the fund’s returns and the tech sector.”
“However, KiwiSaver investors must carefully balance the risk and reward of investing in private equity. While private equity investments can provide the potential for strong returns, they also come with a higher level of risk and uncertainty. Investors must research and understand the risks before investing in private equity.”
This investment could appeal to younger investors as they naturally have a higher volatility tolerance. This is due to them having a long time horizon for their investments. When it comes to investing, time is one of the most critical factors. The longer an investment grows, the more time it has to overcome any short-term market volatility and fluctuations.
For young investors, this means that they have a longer time horizon for their investments to grow and generate higher returns. This allows them to take on more volatility, such as investing in stocks or other assets that have the potential for higher returns but also come with higher volatility.
Of course, this doesn’t mean young investors should abandon caution altogether. It’s still important to carefully assess any investment’s risks and potential rewards and diversify a portfolio to reduce overall risk. But for young investors, the ability to take on more risk can be a valuable tool for achieving their long-term financial goals.
The $20 million investment in the Movac fund is the latest in a series of steps taken by Generate KiwiSaver to support the growth of the tech industry in New Zealand. The company has previously invested in other tech-focused funds and launched initiatives to support tech startups and entrepreneurs.
