NZ Super Fund

Overview

The New Zealand Superannuation Fund (NZ Super Fund) is a sovereign wealth fund established in 2001 by the New Zealand government. Its main goal is to pre-fund the future costs of universal retirement benefits for New Zealanders aged 65 and over. The Fund is managed by the Guardians of New Zealand Superannuation and focuses on maximizing long-term returns while minimizing risk to lessen the future tax burden related to superannuation payments.

With assets totaling approximately NZD 85.8 billion, the NZ Super Fund invests in a diversified portfolio that includes listed equities, fixed income, infrastructure, and property, among other asset classes. The Fund actively collaborates with other institutional investors to enhance returns and is committed to sustainability and transparency, adhering to best practices in responsible investment. Its governance structure includes a board chaired by John Williamson and a leadership team focused on ensuring the sustainability of pension payments for future generations of New Zealanders.
