I'm guessing Vanguard or other major fund managers are not available in NZ? The funds you listed seem to have quite low fees (0.15%) for a global fund :thumbup: though they don't seem to provide much detail on asset allocation. We get Vanguard via NZ platforms.

Hurricanes deserve to be betting favourites. This will be a pivotal game for the Hurricanes, as the Chiefs are a good side. The backs might get all the glory, but I'm looking forward to seeing the battle up front.
