Marke Commenary Volailiy se ino global equiy markes during he Sepember quarer following an exended period of calm in recen years. The urbulence seemed o sem from concerns abou slowing growh and financial sresses in China. Global invesors wached wih inense scruiny as senior Chinese officials ried o suppor rapidly declining sock markes, rebalance he slowing economy o a consumpion-driven model and manage an over-valued currency pegged o he US dollar. Given he srong run in mos major equiy markes over he pas few years, valuaions were paricularly suscepible o uncerainy or bad news. Boh developed and emerging equiy markes go punished as invesors veered o he safey of risk-free asses such US, German and Japanese sovereign bonds. Global markes fell 3.09% in aggregae (in NZD erms) during he quarer. Wihin his, he US S&P 500 fell 1.09%, he UK FTSE gave up 4.41%, he Euro Soxx slipped 4.09% and he Japanese Nikkei slumped 7.18%. The damage was worse for NZD-hedged invesmens, as he NZ dollar fell 6.38%, 6.69%, 3.12% and 8.31% agains he US dollar, Briish pound, Euro and Japanese yen respecively. Emerging markes did no fare well, in aggregae hey gave up 13.08% (NZD erms). Closer o home, here was no reprieve for he Ausralian equiy marke as resource socks were sold off paricularly heavily amid concerns of easing demand from China.

2 Uncerainy surrounding he healh of he US economy and how he Federal Reserve perceives i also heighened during he quarer. Many had expeced Jane Yellen o raise ineres raes in Sepember as he saed US economic daa arges for ighening had been reached. However, raes were kep on hold, Yellen saing subdued inflaion and recen global economic and financial developmens as he caalyss for no movemen. The heighened global uncerainy mean ha governmen bonds from crediworhy counries were in demand. Global fixed ineres markes were up 2.08%, as measured by he Barclays Global Aggregae NZD Hedged Index. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand sepped up moneary easing wih wo anicipaed 25bps drops in he OCR in July and Sepember. I poined o he rapidly slowing dairy secor and low inflaion as he impeus. This was posiive for local bond invesors as he S&P/NZX NZ Composie Index reurned 2.18%. The local lised propery marke came hrough he marke urbulence largely unscahed as invesors ook comfor in is relaively defensive naure and, poenially, he Fed s decision o wai on rae rises provided some comfor. The S&P/NZX Propery index gave up 0.2%. Global lised propery held up reasonably well relaive o broader global equiies bu afer he effecs of currency and hedging, he index we use o measure he secor fell 3.7%. Quarerly Fund Manager Resuls The change in ides regarding performance of he individual asse classes naurally mean a shif in he relaive sandings across KiwiSaver profiles during he quarer. There was a direc correlaion beween he performance of he Morningsar caegories and heir allocaion o income asses such as cash and bonds. The conservaive caegory was he lone posiive performer wih an average reurn of 0.20%, while he aggressive caegory had he wors average reurn of -4.47%. Alhough, looking over he longer erm, he growh-orienaed caegories are sill he op performers. The urbulen marke condiions resuled in a mix of opperforming KiwiSaver providers across he risk specrum during he quarer. Fisher Two was he op performer wihin he conservaive caegory as i benefied from is exposure o direc propery. Generae opped he moderae caegory again as srong securiy selecion propelled reurns. I has been he sronges moderae fund over he pas year by a considerable margin. Milford was he op performer wihin he balanced caegory as a decision o dial back he exposure o growh asses has proved fruiful. AMP Nikko and Forsyh Barr were he op performers in he growh and aggressive caegories respecively, his a resul of greaer exposure o NZ equiies han peers, while he underlying performance of his exposure was also op noch in boh insances. I is mos appropriae o evaluae performance of a KiwiSaver scheme by sudying is long-erm reurns. Aon Russell and ANZ coninue o be a or near he op of mos caegories and are he mos consisen performers across he board. Kiwi Wealh coninues o be a op performer wihin he aggressive caegory, while Milford comforably ops he balanced caegory. Impac of Slump in Emerging Markes Emerging markes (EM) equiies were he wors performing asse class during he quarer, however, he majoriy of KiwiSaver funds were no direcly affeced by he sell-off. Of he KiwiSaver managers ha we cover, AMP and Mercer are he only providers ha include emerging marke shares in heir sraegic asse allocaion. Wihin heir balanced funds, hey allocae 7.5% and 3.6% of he porfolio o he asse class respecively. Boh AMP and Mercer provide sound long-erm fundamenal reasoning for heir invesmen in EM equiies and we hink hese allocaions are reasonable. Mos KiwiSaver funds will have indirec exposure o he asse class by oher means hough. This is achieved hrough he underlying inernaional equiy managers invesing in EM or mulinaional companies. For insance, Nesle is domiciled in Swizerland bu a significan porion of is revenue comes from EM counries. As a 31 March 2015, he average allocaion o 2015 Morningsar, Inc. All righs reserved.

3 EM equiies wihin balanced KiwiSaver funds was 1.81%. So mos KiwiSaver funds were affeced by he global equiy marke conagion, bu were largely insulaed from he wors of he EM declines. For he mos par, we commend he KiwiSaver providers for producing appropriaely-diversified KiwiSaver funds.
