Fund Allocation Note
Foundation Series US 500 100% ($726K) Hold only. Buy/sell spreads make rebalancing expensive.

Rebalance Actions

Kernel (execute together)

  • Sell $538K Infrastructure
  • Sell $499K Div Aristocrats
  • Sell $208K Emerging Markets
  • Sell $172K Cash Plus (entire position)
  • Buy $602K S&P 500

KiwiSaver (both accounts — set percentages)

Go to Kernel KiwiSaver → Portfolio → Edit percentages for each account:

Fund Current % Set to
World ex-US (Unhedged) 0% 40%
S&P 500 (Unhedged) 0% 30%
Emerging Markets 0% 20%
Global 100 64% 10%
S&P 500 (NZD Hedged) 18% 0%
High Growth 18% 0%

Do this for both Jonathan's and Julia's accounts. Kernel handles the rebalancing automatically — no manual sell/buy needed. All funds unhedged (hedging costs 1-2% pa, unacceptable over 23-year lock-up).

Note

Data as of May 2026. KiwiSaver rebalance can proceed immediately — no tax implications, no spreads.

Policy Reminder

  • Rebalance trigger: any fund drifting >5% from target
  • Kernel: Execute via unit sells + dollar buys (settles in ~24hrs, no tax, no spread)
  • KiwiSaver: Set target percentages — Kernel rebalances automatically (free, no tax event)
  • InvestNow: Never rebalance (buy/sell spread makes it expensive)
