Funds Management and Other Investment Services in New Zealand industry analysis

Funds management services are declining. Uncertainty after the COVID-19 pandemic is discouraging investors from using fund managers' products and services. The emergence of robo-advisory platforms is also reducing revenue for fund managers. Despite the pandemic, strong domestic sharemarket performance has bolstered both the value of managed funds and sharemarket activity. The increasing size of the KiwiSaver scheme and its significance to the financial system are providing an additional channel for funds and other investment management growth. However, funds management revenue is expected to decline 2.5% in 2023-24, dropping to an estimated $4.4 billion as economic activity continues to recover from significant volatility in the domestic and global financial markets as a result of COVID-19. A rise in the cash rate and volatility in residential housing markets is weighing on investor confidence and constraining funds management services' performance. COVID-19 and the subsequent financial market volatility also prompted some investors to transfer from growth funds to conservative funds. This constrained the level of funds under management (FUM). Overall, funds management and other investment services' revenue has dropped at an annualised 1.0% over the five years through 2023-24.The KiwiSaver scheme has become an increasingly significant part of New Zealand's pension and financial systems. The compulsory employer contribution rate rose to 3.0% of employee take-home pay, boosting the value of FUM and increasing sharemarket activity to generate additional demand for custodial services, trustee services and financial planning. Rising awareness of retirement planning is also prompting more individuals and households to seek financial advice, further supporting FUM growth.Funds management and other investment services operators are expected to increase their revenue at an annualised 4.3% over the five years through 2028-29, to total an estimated $5.4 billion. Revenue will benefit from increases in FUM and KiwiSaver's growing popularity as the population continues to age. However, the increasing popularity of robo-advisory services is likely to curb funds management growth as competition intensifies for a smaller client base.

Trends and Insights

  • Strong sharemarket performances are heightening investor confidence. Despite strong performances in the sharemarket, the economic and financial challenges investors faced during COVID-19 have diminished demand for funds management services over recent times.
  • Increases funds management activity are boosting the value of FUM. Despite the economic downturn from the COVID-19 pandemic, FUM increases are benefiting operators specialising in funds management services, financial planning and superannuation and retirement savings advice.
  • Funds management services firms concentrate in locations with many institutional investors. Institutional investors include banks and other financial services that contribute significant value to total FUM investments.
  • Fund managers compete on price and service quality. Clients demand a fair fee on the basis of performance or a fixed rate for the total volume of FUM. Funds that offers high-quality, client-satisfying services will attain a competitive edge.
