Episode Details

Aggressive KiwiSaver funds have historically performed better under Democrat US presidents and National governments in New Zealand. Data shows aggressive portfolios averaging 9.97% annually under Democrats versus 3.44% under Republicans. Conversely, conservative funds fare better with Republicans at 5.67% compared to 3.06% under Democrats. In the US, markets surged under Obama, Trump, and Biden, with aggressive funds reaching highs of 11.75% and 12.91% under Trumps recent term. In New Zealand, National governments have been favorable for aggressive funds, with John Keys era averaging 10.18% and the current National crew already at 18.38%. Experts attribute this to a flight-to-safety effect and the mostly offshore nature of KiwiSaver, making US policy and deregulation significant influencers. However, policy changes affecting contributions and fees should always be monitored for their impact on returns.
