About This Category
Multi-asset funds combine multiple asset classes — typically NZ and global equities, fixed income, alternatives (private equity, infrastructure, hedge funds), property, and cash — within a single fund vehicle. They offer wholesale investors institutional-grade asset allocation, rebalancing, and risk management without having to assemble the portfolio piecewise.
Strategies are typically labelled by risk profile: Conservative (20-40% growth assets, 60-80% defensive), Balanced (40-60% growth), Growth (70-90% growth), and Aggressive Growth (95%+ growth). Some specialty multi-asset funds add a thematic overlay (philanthropy, ESG, climate-aligned) or alternatives focus (5-30% in unlisted private markets).
Target returns vary by allocation: Conservative 4-6% p.a., Balanced 6-8%, Growth 8-11%. Most are PIE-structured. Wholesale minimums typically $50,000-$250,000. Daily or weekly liquidity. Suited for investors seeking a single-decision diversified core holding around which they layer satellite specialty allocations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is a multi-asset fund different from building my own portfolio?
Multi-asset funds outsource asset allocation, rebalancing and manager selection to professionals. You get a single price, single PIE-tax wrapper, and institutional access to alternatives. The trade-off is less control over individual holdings and an additional fee layer.
Which risk profile should I choose?
Choose based on your time horizon and risk tolerance, not market conditions. Long horizons (10+ years) historically reward higher equity allocations; short horizons favour Conservative/Balanced. Speak with an authorised financial adviser before deciding — this is not advice.
Are multi-asset funds AIP-eligible?
Some multi-asset funds appear on the NZTE Acceptable Managed Funds list for the AIP Growth or Balanced Category. Check each fund's NZTE pre-approval status; not all multi-asset funds qualify.
