Types of Simplicity KiwiSaver funds

Simplicity offers six KiwiSaver funds, each offering a different level of potential return and targeted to the needs of a different life stage. Each is a passively managed fund aligned to different market indexes.

  • Defensive
  • Conservative
  • Balanced
  • Default
  • Growth
  • High Growth

The funds contain varying mixes of assets, with cash and fixed-interest bonds (income assets) making up most of the conservative funds, and equities (growth assets) making up more of the growth options.

Simplicity offers:

Low fees

Simplicity doesn’t charge any annual membership fees. Across all its funds, Simplicity charges the same fee: 0.25% p.a., or $2.50 for every $1000 invested.

Total Transparency

Clear breakdown of all investments, contributions, fees, taxes and returns.

Forecasting Tools

Linked Accounts

One central login gives access to all your family’s accounts.

Simplicity is also one of the government-appointed default KiwiSaver scheme providers, in part for its ability to deliver low fees and promote KiwiSaver engagement.
