InvestNow KiwiSaver Performance – June 2022
Using the most recent returns and fund update reports from June 2022, we will examine InvestNow’s recent KiwiSaver Performance.
Foundation Series is run by InvestNow, which is a New Zealand-based online investment platform that allows Kiwi investors to invest in KiwiSaver, Managed Funds and Term Deposits from fund managers and banks around the world. It is designed specifically to enable everyday New Zealanders to invest without going through a financial advisor or broker. However, you will not receive financial advice.
In July, the New Zealand market underperformed due to the repercussions of the coronavirus pandemic. The negative returns provided in this period demonstrate the nationwide effects, such as the increase in the cost of living and inflation increases. Despite this, there is a more positive outlook for the future performance of these funds as border restrictions in New Zealand are opening and markets slowly readjusting after numerous lockdowns.
