1 KiwiSaver Survey December Quarer 2016 Volailiy reurned o markes in he final quarer of 2016, following he resuls from he US elecion. Fixed income markes, lised propery, and New Zealand shares all produced negaive resuls, while global equiies was one of he few asse classes o shine. As a resul, he more defensive KiwiSaver funds posed negaive reurns, while growh-oriened opions were mosly posiive. Average mulisecor caegory reurns ranged from 2.54% for he aggressive caegory o -0.79% for he conservaive caegory. Chris Douglas 2-February-17 Morningsar s quarerly KiwiSaver Survey is designed o help New Zealand invesors assess he performance and oher key characerisics of heir KiwiSaver reiremen savings opions. The accompanying ables show KiwiSaver fund reurns for he one, hree, and five years o 31 December This quarer we added o our daabase hree KiwiSaver funds operaed by Simpliciy KiwiSaver, which has overaken ASB as he cheapes KiwiSaver opion on our daabase. We hope you find his KiwiSaver Survey helpful and welcome any feedback. Ausralian marke, and gains in he las wo monhs mean ha he index recorded a reurn of 3.8% for he December quarer and finished he year up 9.2%. Inernaional shares experienced a very rocky sar o 2016, due largely o concerns abou he oulook for global growh. This was followed by price gains for he res of he year, inerruped along he way by wha proved o be ransien oubreaks of volailiy in lae June and early November. The MSCI World index finished he year wih a 5.5% NZD gain, and was up a very healhy 6.2% for he fourh quarer. The ineres rae-sensiive S&P/NZX All Real Esae index sruggled when confroned wih rising bond yields in he second half of Over he final quarer, he index fell 6.6%, and for he calendar year delivered a reurn of 2.7%. Marke Commenary There was a significan amoun of volailiy across he markes during New Zealand shares posed very srong gains up o early Sepember, followed by a subsanial reversal for he res of he year. The final quarer of 2016 saw he S&P/NZX50 index fall 6.5%. However, he srengh in he earlier phase carried he day, and he index closed ou he calendar year wih a reurn of 8.8%. Ausralian shares sruggled o make any gains for mos of he year, bu he global pos-trump equiy rally in he final monhs of he year also rubbed off on he Fixed ineres markes were in negaive erriory for he fourh quarer of 2016, alhough finished he year wih posiive reurns. Longer-erm yields followed he U.S. bond marke: he 10 year U.S. Treasury yield rose srongly in November and December, reflecing boh he unexpeced Trump elecion resul and U.S. Federal Reserve moneary policy ighening.

2 Quarerly Fund Manager Resuls KiwiSaver funds wih heavy growh asse allocaions easily ouperformed heir defensive counerpars in he fourh quarer. The sell-off in fixed income in he final monhs of 2016 led o he Conservaive, Moderae, and Balanced caegories posing negaive resuls on average. Anyhing wih a il o New Zealand asses also ended o endure heavier losses, as he local sharemarke fell more han global counerpars across he board. Average mulisecor caegory reurns ranged from 2.54% for he Aggressive caegory o -0.79% for he Conservaive caegory. Top performers in heir peer groups in he fourh quarer included Kiwi Wealh KiwiSaver Scheme Defaul (0.56%) (Mulisecor Conservaive); Booser KiwiSaver Asse Class Conservaive (0.14%) (Mulisecor Moderae); Kiwi Wealh KiwiSaver Balanced (2.10%) (Mulisecor Balanced); Simpliciy KiwiSaver Growh Fund (1.90%) (Mulisecor Growh); and Kiwi Wealh KiwiSaver Growh (4.35%) (Mulisecor Aggressive). Despie he volailiy, all KiwiSaver funds managed o produce posiive reurns over he year across he mulisecor caegories. Reurns ranged from 9.44% down o 1.97%. The Aggressive caegory average recorded 7.0% for he year, followed by Growh (6.0%), Balanced (5.9%), Moderae (5.1%), and Conservaive (4.7%). I s mos appropriae o evaluae performance of a KiwiSaver scheme by sudying is long-erm reurns. OneAnswer KiwiSaver Growh coninues o op he Mulisecor Growh caegory over five years. ANZ akes a long-erm view in he sraegic posiioning of is porfolios, which is he key driver of performance, alhough acical asse allocaion has also been a consisen ne posiive. Ouperformance agains peers has predominanly been he resul of growh exposure achieved hrough domesic and inernaional equiies. Equally posiive has been he lised propery exposure, he performance of which surged from 2012 o Milford KiwiSaver Balanced leads he Mulisecor Balanced caegory over he five years o 31 December Milford s exposure o growh asses has ypically been higher han he peer group, which has driven srong peer-relaive resuls. Milford reduced his il o growh asses over 2016, and smar allocaions in fixed ineres mean he sraegy avoided much of he negaive volailiy in he fourh quarer. Aon Russell Lifepoins is a noable performer over he long erm, mos opions appearing a or near he op of our mulisecor caegories. Fees Should be Fron and Cenre There was a lo of discussion in he media abou fee ransparency a he end of las year, afer he Minisry of Business, Innovaion and Employmen (MBIE) released a mock-up annual saemen where fees were fron-and-cenre. Some fund managers and indusry paricipans were quick o voice heir concerns, saing ha he focus should no be on fees, bu raher on afer-fee (and ax) reurns. We agree ha afer-fee reurns are wha maers mos, bu in our opinion fees are an imporan baromeer which ell you more abou a fund manager han jus he coss. We spend a lo of ime alking abou fees. I s he one elemen of fuure performance ha fund managers (and invesors) can conrol, and even small differences can ea ino invesors reurns and fuure reiremen asses and income. Invesors should no have o search for he fee associaed wih an invesmen produc i should be laid ou in a consisen manner, include all coss, and be easy o compare agains ohers. The cos of a KiwiSaver scheme also provides insighs ino he sewardship of he firm. For example, i can illusrae wheher he firm s alignmen is mos srongly wih invesors in he company s funds, or wih he company s shareholders. Does he fund manager reduce coss as he firm s asses grow, or coninue o charge he same percenage-based fee? We believe ha he ways fund managers handle fees can be very informaive abou he firm, and ha s why we include fees in our assessmen of he paren company (as well as assessing fees and coss separaely) when our research eam reviews fund managers globally Morningsar, Inc.

3 I s also imporan o undersand ha fees have proven o be one of he bes indicaors of fuure ouperformance in markes around he world. In he US, low-fee funds have proven hey can ouperform high-fee funds. So, we believe ha a focus on all aspecs of fees is jusified, more han jus assessing fund managers on heir afer-fee performance, and ha is why we re wholly supporive of he work he MBIE is doing. Marke Share KiwiSaver asses on he Morningsar daabase grew o NZD 36.7 billion a 31 December 2016 from NZD million a 30 June ANZ has he greaes marke share wih more han NZD 9.45 billion (25.7%), while ASB remains in second posiion wih NZD 6.75 billion (18.4%). Wespac holds hird spo ahead of AMP, while Fisher Funds sis in fifh spo. The six larges KiwiSaver providers accoun for approximaely 84.9% of asses on our daabase. Abou This Survey This survey groups KiwiSaver opions by heir mix of income and growh asses, or asse allocaion. This is one of he mos imporan decisions o make when saving for reiremen. The erm income asses refers o cash and fixed ineres securiies ha generally produce sable and reliable reurns bu offer lile opporuniy for long-erm capial growh. Reurns from growh asses such as propery and shares will be erraic as recen marke volailiy has demonsraed bu over ime have shown greaer capaciy for increasing in value. The mixure of income and growh asses is he major deerminan of poenial reurn and volailiy. Invesors may noice differences beween he reurns published in his survey and hose hey see elsewhere. There are several possible reasons for his. Firs, he reurns published here are afer fees bu before ax. Second, we ake he associaed ax credi ino consideraion when calculaing and publishing hese reurns, while some fund managers base heir published performance figures on monh-end uni prices only.
