Using the most recent returns from September 2021, we will examine Generate recent KiwiSaver Performance.
Generate KiwiSaver Scheme is New Zealand owned and operated and over the last six years, Generate has led its industry with more than 90% of all new Generate KiwiSaver members speaking to an adviser before they join. The Generate KiwiSaver Scheme manages three funds and has over $2.6 billion total Assets Under Management as per the Generate KiwiSaver Scheme Annual Report from March 2021.
During September, the share market and, consequently, Generate KiwiSaver returns decreased. The decrease could be due to Auckland’s lockdown, the market calming down after last year’s considerable returns or another external factor. However, the returns are not something to worry about as it is natural for the market to sway, and the fluctuation does not indicate the performance of these funds in the long term.
