Pathfinder Asset Management
Pathfinder Asset Management brings a new and unique approach to investment funds management in New Zealand. Our vision is to promote effective and flexible building blocks for a sound strategic asset allocation process.
We also strongly believe in transparency, accountability and alignment of interest. Pathfinder does not pay any commissions to intermediaries. We disclose our fees, the size of our funds and how we manage your money. The principals of Pathfinder also invest alongside investors and are significant investors in all of our funds.
We combine the traditional low cost structures of a beta (passively managed) fund and link that to the flexibility and responsiveness of an alpha (actively managed) fund – we define this as "smart beta".
Our philosophy is simple:
- Strong governance and integrity
- Experienced managers
- Smart benchmark choices
- Effective currency management
- Regular access to your money
- Transparency of the investment process
- Reasonable fee structure
- A hard cap on total fund expenses
- Focus on Socially Responsible Investing
New Zealand investors have often had difficulty accessing international asset classes efficiently. Pathfinder changes that. Our funds bring liquidity with low cost, transparency with sophistication and clearly defined investment policies to the New Zealand investor. We believe each of our funds will have an integral place as part of a well balanced investment portfolio.
