We place a strong emphasis on integrity and value good business principles. We believe these are especially important in our business, where we manage the hard earned life savings of our clients. We have established a written statement of ethics that covers the business conduct for all of our staff. All employees of NZ Funds sign this statement.

NZ Funds and its employees have various fiduciary responsibilities to their investor clients and an obligation to act in their best interests at all times.

This statement of ethics outlines the company’s policies in place which should help ensure that the above responsibilities are met. The objective of these policies is to reduce the risk of actual or potential conflicts of interest arising during the normal course of business. Conflicts of interest are circumstances where the interests of clients, to who we provide financial services, are inconsistent with, or diverge from, the interests of our company or its employees.

Policies are in place which cover the following areas:

1. The receipt or provision of gifts or entertainment in relation to external parties.

2. Personal securities transactions by employees.

3. General conduct rules for employees.
