Commentary

As of 31 October 2025

Market Overview
  • Corporate earnings season was a positive driver of market sentiment over October, with US companies again the standout.
  • A number of regional or national equity markets made new all-time highs on the back of another solid quarterly earnings season and more rate cuts from the US Federal Reserve and other central banks.
  • Japanese equities delivered the strongest return due in part to the unexpected victory of Sanae Takaichi in the Liberal Democratic Party leadership election early in the month. 

Fund Highlights

  • Returns for the Balanced Fund were strong in October, with all of the underlying strategies posting positive returns.
  • The ‘growth asset classes’ (equities and listed property) posted strong returns around the 1-2% range over the month, with the weaker NZ Dollar versus the US helping unhedged global equities top the monthly performance rankings.
  • NZ bonds delivered strong returns with interest rates moving lower over October.
