JUNO Growth, Balanced and Conservative have all been ranked as #1 for the past 12 months (including the first volatile quarter of 2020), according to Morningstar data published quarterly and referred to in the New Zealand Herald.*
These results include the market volatility from coronavirus during February and March, so this is great news!

Many KiwiSaver fund managers take a bite of any market-beating returns - JUNO KiwiSaver does not
It is clear that JUNO cares about plain language and about giving citizens information in clear, accessible ways!
Juno hand-picks its investments like the majority of providers, but charges a fixed dollar fee rather than a combination of annual fee plus percentage of the investment.
Victoria Harris is one of New Zealand’s up-and-coming fund managers and her message is clear: more women need to move into finance and change this picture.
Juno KiwiSaver is offering what it calls a ‘Netflix-style’ monthly subscription model, calculated on the customer’s level of investment.
The scheme’s fee structure is its main point of difference.
They use an active investing strategy, where a fund manager actively makes decisions about where to invest the scheme’s money, with the aim to outperform the market
JUNO KiwiSaver Scheme fees assume your balance is at year-end and you pay the applicable JUNO fees, each month.
Inflation measures the expected change over time, of the price of goods and services you want to buy.
A 2% inflation rate, like we use in this calculator, means something costing $100 today is expected to cost $102 next year, just over $104 the following year and so on.
It matters because if the cost of what you want to buy grows faster than your investment, the ‘purchasing power’ of your investment is shrinking. You want the ‘purchasing power’ of your money to at least keep pace with, and ideally beat, the rate of inflation.

A market index is a metric that can help track performance. A market index contains similar assets and has similar risk to the JUNO funds, and so is a good reference point for judging performance. Every fund type is made up of a different mix of asset types.
Each asset type (equities, fixed income and cash) in each fund has a market index. So, the market index figures shown combine two or more market indices, depending on the assets in the fund. For example, the JUNO Growth Fund combines market indices for equities and cash. Finally, the combination of market indices for each fund is weighted according to its target asset mix.
For example, the market index return for the JUNO Growth Fund is 80% the return of the market index for equities and 20% the return of the market index for cash. More information about the JUNO KiwiSaver Scheme market indices can be found in the Statement of Investment Policy and Objectives (SIPO).
These returns assume a PIR of 28% (the highest PIR) and are shown before fees.
