FMA Guide to Managed Funds

 

The FMA has published a new guide to managed funds following research suggesting more New Zealanders are considering alternative investments because of low interest rates.

An FMA survey of 195 term deposit investors last month found that 43% of them were likely to invest less in term deposits because of low interest rates. Of these, a quarter of them were considering managed funds or exchange traded funds to get better investment returns.

The findings are in line with the May 2019 results of the FMA’s annual investor confidence survey, which found 56% of New Zealanders were considering making changes to their investments in the coming year.

With this in mind, the FMA has produced a guide to managed funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs) for World Investor Week (September 30-October 6).

FMA Investor Capability Manager Gillian Boyes said: “When interest rates fall, it’s natural that people start to look for alternatives to term deposits. With more people expressing interest in managed funds, we’ve developed a guide to these types of investment to help people make more informed decisions.”
