How it works

Investment managers

BNZISL decides how to invest the assets of the investment products available through BNZ. It does this by appointing underlying investment managers with specific investment objectives. BNZISL regularly reviews the performance of those managers.

Asset classes

Asset classes are different types of investments, for example shares, bonds, and cash. The investment managers bring specific asset class expertise, along with local and global knowledge. They use a mix of active and passive management styles and select the investments for each asset class to achieve their objectives.

Important considerations

When BNZISL appoints or reviews its investment managers it considers aspects such as:

historic performance against investment objectives
resources available
governance structures in place
investment processes including how they incorporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors.
