Using the most recent returns and fund update reports from December 2021, We will be examining AMP KiwiSaver Performance by taking a look at the latest news, information, fees, fund investments, and data, such as fund performance and returns.
AMP Investment Management was founded in 1849. The AMP Group includes AMP Capital and AMP Wealth Management, and they have a nearly 170-year history together. AMP Capital employs over 250 investment professionals in 19 locations across 19 countries globally. As of March 2021, their KiwiSaver scheme had $6.5 billion in AUM and 216,311 members. AMP is now the fourth largest KiwiSaver provider.
In December, the stock markets shrugged off the threat of the new ‘Omicron’ Covid wave. This new wave of “Omicron” at the end of 2021 caused some drops in fund returns. While the Omicron wave is expected to slow growth this year, a global recession is unlikely. Businesses should benefit from moderate economic growth so the KiwiSaver investors shouldn’t be concerned about one negative month yet focus on the long-term returns. This year, the market is likely to be very volatile. When prices go up and down, it can be stressful, but we can see this volatility as an opportunity to outperform the markets. Investors should focus on long-term investment goals despite the volatility and not get distracted by short-term gains.
