NZ Super Fund says a strong performance by global share markets during the first half of this year has underpinned an "excellent" full-year result for the fund, which returned 11.9% after costs and before NZ tax. The fund said that the global recovery in share prices over the year meant that the Super Fund’s total return slightly lagged that of its Reference Portfolio benchmark, which generated 12%. This year, global equities performed very well, and the Super Fund slightly underperformed the reference portfolio. Whineray said despite the Super Fund’s continued strong financial results, the global investing environment remained challenging.

[Source: Moana Pasifika/Twitter]New Zealand international Julian Savea will play for Moana Pasifika in Super Rugby next year after a “brutal” departure from the Wellington Hurricanes. The former All Blacks winger and equal record try-scorer in Super Rugby joins the Auckland-based team on a one-year deal after failing to agree terms with the Hurricanes. He matched former Australia fullback Israel Folau’s Super Rugby try-scoring record of 60 in May with a brace in a defeat by Fijian Drua. He joins a Moana Pasifika side that finished bottom of the 12-team competition in their second season under former coach Aaron Mauger. “With one of the most recognisable names in rugby, his injection into the Moana Pasifika community space will be inspirational to Pasifika rugby hopefuls in New Zealand and across the Pacific,” the team said in a statement.

GovernmentReserve Bank credibility in question over ‘blackballing’ of expertsAllowing macroeconomic and monetary experts to serve on the Monetary Policy Committee is welcome.
