Who We Are

What We Do

Aon Hewitt serves as a strategic partner to leading global organizations on significant issues impacting millions of employees worldwide.

The evolution of the workforce and global economy have placed human capital issues at the forefront in the executive suite.

In order to be successful, corporations need to engage in a fierce global talent search, work to build and manage multinational teams in developed and emerging markets, and implement succession

planning programs, while at the same time, keeping costs on budget as rising expenses for health care and other benefits soar.

Aon Hewitt, a division of Aon New Zealand, provides independent actuarial, financial and statistical advice. We provide administration services for superannuation and employee benefit schemes,

and we provide advice on death, disablement and health insurances.

Aon KiwiSaver Survey

For over 20 years we have been compiling surveys of investment performance in New Zealand.

With the introduction of KiwiSaver in 2007 we decided to broaden our surveys, which had until now only covered wholesale funds, to also include KiwiSaver funds.

We contacted all registered KiwiSaver providers and we believe we have put together one of the most comprehensive KiwiSaver surveys currently in the market.

Our survey shows the returns for each fund over the last quarter, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 60 months and 72 months. We have also included the asset allocation details of each fund as at the

survey date. This shows what proportion of each fund is invested in Shares, Property, Bonds and Cash.

Disclaimer:

We asked each Provider to supply us with returns Gross of Tax and Net of Percentage-Based fees. This means that no allowance may have been made for other fees such as dollar-based

administration, audit, legal and trustee fees.

We have not verified the information supplied by each Provider.

This publication provides general information only and should not be relied upon in making an investment decision.

Investors should seek professional advice which takes into account their personal circumstances before making an investment decision.

No liability will be accepted for loss resulting from reliance on information contained in this report which proves to be inaccurate and/or incomplete.

Disclosure of interest: Aon Hewitt acts as the asset consultant for the Trustees of AonSaver and several Employer KiwiSaver Schemes.

No part of this document may be reproduced without acknowledging Aon New Zealand as the source.

Aon Hewitt - Shaping the Workplace of the Future

You should not use this survey to estimate your own return, which will be net of all fees, dependent on your PIR rate (10.5%, 17.5% or 28.0%) and affected by the timing and amounts of your

contributions.

Aon Hewitt is the global leader in human capital consulting and outsourcing solutions. With more than 29,000 professionals in 90 countries, Aon Hewitt makes the world a better place to work for clients and their employees.

My fund hasn't performed very well. What should I do?

Past performance is no guarantee of future performance.

It is important that you understand what you are actually investing in because while there are many different funds available they won't all be suitable for you.

We believe it is important to show you each fund's asset allocation, so that you know how much is invested in equities, property, bonds and cash.

The performance of your fund will depend critically on how much it invests in each of these asset classes.

Some funds may be invested in only a few shares, some funds may be invested in hundreds of shares.

If you are concerned, then consult an independent investment advisor to help work out what is best for you.

The chart below shows the range of annualised returns over all the funds in our survey in the last 6 years. From the chart we can see that all of the funds earned money over the

previous 6 years.

Four funds earned between 0% pa and 2% pa and one fund earned between 8% pa and 10% pa.

The returns in your survey are different than the returns my KiwiSaver Provider is reporting. What's going on?

We asked Providers to give us returns that are gross of tax and net of percentage-based fees. This means that, generally, all expenses should have been excluded from the reported returns.

We did this to make as fair a comparison as possible between unitised schemes and non-unitised schemes (mainly company superannuation schemes).

Why aren't my Provider's returns in the survey?

There are many reasons, not just poor performance, why a Provider may have chosen not to include their returns.

For example, several KiwiSaver schemes have only a few members and aren't open to the general public.

If your Provider isn't in the survey, then encourage them to submit their returns for future surveys.

What do the coloured bands on the graphs represent?

The top quartile, or top 25% of funds surveyed, will be plotted in green on the graphs. The bottom quartile, or bottom 25% of funds surveyed, will be plotted in pink on the graphs.

I'm thinking of joining KiwiSaver but there are so many Providers and so many funds, where do I start?

You should consult an independent investment advisor to help work out what is best for you.
