Using the most recent returns and fund update reports from the June 2022 Quarter, we will examine QuayStreet’s recent KiwiSaver Performance.
QuayStreet utilises active investment management across its funds and believes that actively managing investments with a concentrated selection can provide investors with better returns than industry benchmarks. QuayStreet adopts a sustainable business model, investing long-term and focusing on its investments’ underlying value and quality. The QuayStreet KiwiSaver Scheme currently has 6,229 members with NZ$258,134,457 million in assets under management, according to the latest annual report that ended 31 March 2022.
In the June quarter, the cost of living in New Zealand significantly increased due to the negative impacts of Covid-19 and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Furthermore, the Reserve Bank Of New Zealand (RBNZ) reports that inflation has reached a 32-year high of 7.3%. In response to this, the RBNZ has increased the official cash (OCR) to 3.0% percent taking it to a seven-year high to reduce inflation. Therefore, these societal and economic pressures have made it difficult for markets to perform, which can be seen in the returns for this quarter.
