He has chaired the Board’s Employee Policy and Remuneration Committee since April 2021.  Ms Drayton joined the Guardians’ Board in November 2018 and was appointed Chair in April 2021.  During her time as Chair, the NZ Super Fund continued to outperform its long-term investment benchmarks despite the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and significant market volatility.  Last year the Fund, now worth NZD 70 billion, was ranked the world’s top-performing sovereign wealth fund based on 10-year returns by global state-owned investor think tank Global SWF.  Catherine Drayton has made a significant contribution to the Fund, helping to steer it through extremely challenging waters. I thank her for her service.”

New Zealand Superannuation Fund

The New Zealand Superannuation Fund was created in 2001 after extensive public and parliamentary debate.  As a Sovereign Wealth Fund, we invest the government’s money to grow it over the long term to make future superannuation costs more affordable.  It’s important we save now because New Zealand’s population is getting older, and with more people aged 65 and older the cost of NZ Super payments will increase.  The legislation creating the Fund was sponsored by the then Minister of Finance, Sir Michael Cullen. For a long time, we were known colloquially as the “Cullen Fund”.

The Fund is managed by the Guardians of New Zealand Superannuation, which is an Autonomous Crown Entity that operates independently from the Government of the day.  This means that, although we are still accountable to the Government, we have operational independence regarding investment decisions and are, instead, overseen by an independent Board.  Withdrawals from the Fund will begin in the 2030s, however, substantial draw-downs will not begin until the 2050s.

The Guardians of New Zealand Superannuation (the Guardians) invests government contributions into two funds: the NZ Super Fund and the Elevate NZ Venture Fund.  The NZ Super Fund is a global portfolio of investments that will help pay for the increased cost of universal superannuation payments (New Zealand Superannuation) in the future.  The Elevate NZ Venture Fund is a smaller fund that supports investment in New Zealand companies that have moved beyond the start-up, or ‘angel’, investment phase, and need capital for the next stage of their development.
