Elevation Capital Global Shares Fund
The Fund employs a value-based, opportunistic, and special-situations focused investment approach that is difficult to replicate in the wider Australia / New Zealand funds management industry;
The Fund’s opportunity set is different and is not constrained by market capitalisation or geography. Accordingly, the Fund has a very high active share which indicates very little overlap with reference benchmark indices;
The Fund’s investors are typically using the Fund to fulfill their global / international or alternative investment allocation needs and to supplement low-cost Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) portfolios.

Ellerston Global Mid Small Cap Fund
The Fund seeks to provide long term capital growth by investing in 20 – 40 securities with a global mid small cap bias. Securities within the portfolio are typically global leaders in their markets with stronger growth than most businesses.
The strategy is not to assemble a group of stocks that replicate any particular geography, theme or index; consequently, the portfolio will not replicate a benchmark and is likely to be different to what may constitute other Global equity products, making it suitable for inclusion within a diversified portfolio.

India Avenue Equity Fund
The Fund seeks to provide long-term capital growth to clients by investing in listed shares of companies benefitting from strong economic growth in India. We believe India’s growth creates a vibrant ecosystem for companies to grow their profits from growing consumption, infrastructure, technology and financial needs of a significant (over 1.3 billion people) and youthful (50% aged 26 or below) population.
By investing in a diverse portfolio of companies, it is our belief that we can generate outperformance of our passive, market-capitalization weighted benchmark (MSCI India), with less volatility, over rolling 5 year periods.

Vault International Bitcoin Fund
The Fund is designed to provide investors with exposure to Bitcoin within a PIE compliant fund. This is achieved by investing in one or more listed offshore domiciled funds which invest directly in Bitcoin (each an “Underlying Fund” and together the “Underlying Funds”). The Fund targets a return before fees and tax that broadly tracks the S&P Bitcoin Index in New Zealand dollars. This is a highly speculative investment. Bitcoin is a highly volatile asset. This means the Fund will not be appropriate for all investors.
Provides exposure to a diversified portfolio of international shares which is actively managed. The investment objective is to achieve absolute returns in excess of the MSCI All Country World Net Index in NZ dollars over the investment cycle (typically 3-5 years).

Important Information
For a description of what each column heading means, please click here.
The performance figures are for periods ending 31 October 2024.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Returns are after fees, before tax and denominated in NZD. Performance figures over 1 year are annualised.
Performance data is sourced from Morningstar or from the underlying fund manager.
For the InvestNow KiwiSaver Scheme, the fund performance figures outlined are for the actual performance of InvestNow Fisher Funds Growth Fund and InvestNow Fisher Funds Conservative Fund, rather than the underlying Fisher Funds Conservative Fund and Fisher Funds Growth Fund, as the underlying funds do not account for the rebates that the InvestNow funds receive.
Please note, the PDS fee is the manager’s estimated total annual fund charge as stated in the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) for this fund. The Quarterly Fund Update (QFU) Fee is the latest actual total annual fund charge reported by the fund for its most recent financial year, as stated in the fund’s most recent Quarterly Fund Update. Both figures include any applicable GST as well as any performance-based fees if applicable.
Transaction-based charges may also apply when you buy or sell a fund, which could include buy/sell spreads (as outlined in the buy/sell spread column), entry/exit fees (denoted by * in the buy/sell spread column), or swing pricing adjustments (denoted by ** in the buy/sell spread column). Please see the PDS for full details on the charges that can apply.
Managed funds in New Zealand must have a standard risk indicator. The risk indicator is designed to help investors understand the uncertainties both for loss and growth that may affect their investment. You can compare funds using the risk indicator – 1 is lower risk and potentially lower returns, while 7 is higher risk and potentially higher returns.
Latest news & updates from Fisher Funds
KiwiSaver investors benefit from Movac’s successful Venture Capital investment in Tradify
19 November 2024 You may have seen the recent announcement of yet another New Zealand tech success story – the sale of Tradify to a large global software player. This is another excellent example of Kiwi ingenuity being recognised on the global stage.
18 November 2024 Compared to other countries, New Zealand has a tiny amount of superannuation savings invested in private companies. Private equity investments have a reputation for being high-risk, high-reward, but is it where KiwiSaver fund managers should be directing more money for potentially better returns?
The value of international diversification for Kiwi investors
7 November 2024 Lately, we’ve had clients asking if the US share market’s best days might be behind it. Part of this questioning has been driven by concerns about potential election outcomes – but also by rising national debt and elevated share market valuations.
Turning point for the interest rate cycle provides a boost to markets
8 October 2024 The third quarter of 2024 marked a long-awaited turning point, as central banks shifted from a singular focus on inflation, to a more balanced approach of also looking to support employment and growth. Following on from August’s volatility, markets pushed to new highs in September when the US Federal Reserve (Fed) decisively cut interest rates and signalled more easing ahead.
24 September 2024 Ever get confused by the language of investing? You’re not alone. Like anything, investing has a lot of different words with different meanings.
Let’s start by decoding some everyday words. Here are 10 investing terms to help you get going, and some examples of how you might hear them.
8 September 2024
August served as a reminder that investing isn’t always smooth sailing. Global markets dropped over 6.4% in the first three days of the month, only to fully recover by the end of August. It’s important to remember that volatility is a normal part of investing, and it’s expected that we will experience a few down months each year, and the occasional more significant market correction.
26 August 2024
Scott Bessent, Former Chief Investment Officer for George Soros’ family office, said: “People always forget that 50% of a stock’s move is the overall market, 30% is the industry group, and then maybe 20% is the extra alpha from stock picking.”.
8 August 2024
Throughout much of this year, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) and the US Federal Reserve have stood out from other central banks as particularly single-minded in their focus on combating inflation. The European Central Bank and the Bank of Canada began cutting rates in June, and the Bank of England joined them this past week.
When the dust settles: A review of 2020’s hot investments
29 July 2024
The renewed interest in 2024 by some investors in Bitcoin and ‘meme stocks’, has brought back memories of the more speculative pockets of the market in 2020 and 2021. Three years on, with the dust having settled, what can we learn?
The rising tide of global markets, lifting some boats more than others
8 July 2024
Global markets have gained significantly in 2024, extending last year’s gains and lifting many markets to record highs. While gains in the first quarter benefitted a range of countries and market sectors, the gains in the second quarter have been driven by a handful of tech companies (including market darling Nvidia). This divergence is starting to create both risks and opportunities for investors.
21 June 2024
It’s been a big month for Rocket Lab. As part of this year’s King’s Birthday Honours List, Rocket Lab’s founder, Peter Beck, was made a Knight Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to the aerospace industry, business and education.
Markets rebound in May, despite weaker economic data
10 June 2024
Markets rebounded in May, after briefly pausing their ascent in April. The S&P 500 rose by almost 5% over the month, offsetting the 4.2% decline in April and placing the index, which is up 11% year-to-date, back on a positive trajectory.
Simons vs Buffet: Lessons from two very different investors
27 May 2024
While Warren Buffett is widely viewed as the world’s most successful investor, few realise that Jim Simons, who passed away earlier this month, delivered significantly higher investment returns. The recent passing of the 86-year-old mathematician and hedge fund manager has drawn interest in his investment approach, and comparisons to Warren Buffett.
After a strong rally, markets take a pause – despite resilient economic and corporate data
8 May 2024
After a strong rally in global markets since October based on optimism that major central banks would cut interest rates this year, markets declined in April. Resilient economic data (particularly in the US), including sticky inflation, caused investors to reduce their expectations for interest rate cuts in 2024 – pushing both share and bond markets lower in many parts of the world.
24 April 2024
You might remember the story of Goldilocks who helped herself to the three bears’ porridge in her quest to find the perfect breakfast. What if we applied the Goldilocks method to the world of investing, and tried to find an investment where the mix of risk and return could be just right?
9 April 2024
After a strong rebound in 2023, global share markets continued their surge in the first quarter of 2024. This offshore strength resulted in solid returns for investors across most of our strategies, despite a weaker domestic economy and share market.
Comparing US and European stock markets – lessons for investors and New Zealand Inc
25 March 2024
Over the past few years, there have been recommendations aplenty to buy European shares over US shares. The argument goes that Europe’s stock market will outperform the US stock market in coming years because shares in Europe are a lot cheaper than those in the United States.
What is the right way to invest as you approach and enter retirement
27 February 2024
It’s important to have the right mix of investments in your retirement so you can make your nest egg last as long as possible.
Senior Wealth Adviser Laura O’Reilly explains that as you approach and enter retirement, you’ll need to consider how to combine your different assets to meet both your short-term and long-term income needs.
Markets riding high as the economic backdrop improves ‑ where to from here?
8 February 2024
Markets rode a wave of optimism to start the year, with share markets back to all-time highs. The S&P 500 surpassed its previous peak from January 2022, fuelled by robust economic data from the US that lent support to the notion of an economic soft landing. What can we learn from the recent rebound in markets, and where to from here?
25 January 2024
The humble Flat White – invented here in New Zealand and now with the starring role in one of the most adventurous investment strategies of the modern era. Even if the Aussies did make it first, we make them better… We can use a simple coffee to highlight a multitude of investing principles and give a clear long-term vision to anchor our mindset through 2024 and beyond.
A flurry of Christmas M&A activity masks a tough year in Australia
25 January 2024
2023 proved to be a year of ‘what ifs and maybes’ for Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) in Australia. More than A$38 billion worth of deals were either cancelled or now seem very unlikely to complete because of regulatory concerns or shareholder pushback.
Strong fund performance in 2023 as markets rebound
17 January 2024
The final stretch of 2023 painted a vibrant picture for investors, with equity markets soaring in November and December – and taking gains for the year to 23% for global equity markets.
20 December 2023
It’s a question we often get asked as advisers, especially when markets are turbulent. ‘My investment has gone down, should I just withdraw it now and put my money in the bank?’.
Markets leap back to life in November, but where to from here?
November was a rewarding month for investors in most asset classes, with global share markets jumping 9% and global bonds gaining 5%. Investor optimism returned as data indicated that inflation seems to be under control in many economies, and central banks hinted they may be done hiking interest rates. As year-end approaches, it’s a good time to reflect on the year in markets and consider what 2024 may bring.
With the side show of the election in the rear-view mirror, astute investors will remain focused on companies that can continue to perform through a tough economic environment. The aftermath of the New Zealand election is yet another reminder of the distraction that politics can be for investors.
The world cup is drawing to a close, and the All Blacks are just one win away from a record fourth world cup. It has been an exhilarating tournament so far, with some of the best games of rugby I have seen in a while. Watching these games has also made me realise there are a lot of similarities between investing and rugby – and that there are some real important investing lessons we can take from the game.
Markets fall as geopolitics and conflict fills the news
With the recent tragic events unfolding in the Middle East, geopolitics have again taken centre stage in markets and the media during October. How far might the war escalate? How might it impact energy prices and economic growth? Could it result in a resurgence in inflation, which had been coming down for most of the year? Events like these unnerve investors and can impact markets – at least in the short-term.
Rising interest rates create a strong headwind for investment markets in September
Stronger than expected economic data in the US during September resulted in long term interest rates moving sharply higher around the globe. While the spike in Government bond yields bodes well for future returns for fixed income investors, it dragged equity markets lower in September.
A busy year ahead for politics – should investors care?
I have always found politics interesting, having combined my economics degree with politics at Otago University. I expect this year there will be a lot of focus on politics both in locally and globally. The New Zealand election is fast approaching, and in the US, Joe Biden has confirmed that he will seek re-election as President in 2024. There will invariably be a lot of discussion about how any politician or party will impact the share market.
Stock takes: How is New Zealand performing against the US and Europe
We’re at the halfway mark for 2023 and it seems last year’s market losers are this year’s big winners.
The NASDAQ is up almost 30%, and the DAX 12% – but the ASX200 is only up 2% and the NZX50 is flat. So, is our part of the world struggling while the rest of the world is riding a tech and AI high?
Global share markets have proved buoyant in 2023, despite the list of issues still facing the global economy – from elevated inflation to the recent US debt ceiling overhang, as well as mortgage rates and cost of living concerns driving recessionary fears.
Are we on the verge of an upswing in capital market activity?
“You know a bear market is nearing the end when investment banks start sacking the MDs,” was the advice I received as a young analyst, just as the tech bubble was unwinding in 2001.
In this episode of Stock Takes, Senior Portfolio Manager Sam Dickie joins host Madison Reidy to discuss the US reporting season and whether the country will avoid a recession based on the current financial reports.
Equities booming, are bonds ready for their time in the sun?
After a roaring start to the year for global share markets, investors could be forgiven for overlooking fixed income markets that have largely been treading water. But there are parallels between 2023 and previous periods following central bank hiking cycles to suggest that …

Artificial Intelligence: Existential threat, or the dawn of a new world?

Investor stock take of 2023 – The importance of balancing offence and defence in your portfolio
