Moderate risk,growth fund - any ideas ?

I have been in The Fisher Growth Fund for the last three years I think and I am a big fan of theirs. Loved the 25.99% increase last year. They are also very open about their investment philosophy and holdings. Wortyh a look anyway.

I would also vouch for Fisher Growth Fund, for NZ equity. For international equity, any of the Platinum Fund Management an Australian fund. Don't pay the 1-5% entry fee, get application form from NZIJ.

Do your own investing. Fisher and the like when push comes to shove are in it for themselves.

joey; Iv'e been a fan of Platinum for a few years but have never used them, thier international fund returned double digit returns for a few of those years. How will Platinum measure up with the new off- shore tax to be implimented ??
Thier Asian fund is up 37% in 2.5 years since inception.

I prefer exchange traded funds. Check out www.ishares.com.

They are traded on the US & other exchanges and are bought and sold just like individual stocks, you can also short them if you are that way inclined.
