Simplicity wades into Smartshares territory

Thursday, April 5th 2018, 7:00AM

Low-fee KiwiSaver provider Simplicity is launching two new index funds, which seem to take on the NZX’s Smartshares offering.

The non-KiwiSaver funds are a NZ Share Index Fund and a NZ Bond Index Fund.

Simplicity said they were significantly cheaper than the Smartshares funds invested in the same areas.

The Simplicity funds have an annual administration fee of $30, and management fees of 0.1 per cent. The minimum investment is $10,000.

The  NZX's Smartshares Top 50 fund charges 0.5 per cent, and its NZ Bond Fund has a charge of 0.54 per cent. Each have a minimum investment requirement of $500.
