NZ Superannuation Fund result welcomed
Finance Minister Michael Cullen today congratulated the Board of Guardians and managers of the New Zealand Superannuation Fund on the excellent result achieved in the 2004-05 year.
The Fund generated a little over $726 million in investment income after costs but before tax, representing a return of 14.13 per cent.
“The Fund continues to track ahead of its performance target. This is a credit to those involved and good news for all New Zealanders.
“The Labour-led government set up the Fund to safeguard the long term viability of New Zealand Superannuation. I am delighted at the striking success it has achieved in its first years of operation,” Dr Cullen said.
