KiwiSaver funds finished 2010 strongly, investment services and consulting firm Mercer says.

More conservative default funds posted a median return of 0.8% for the quarter.

For the whole of 2010, growth funds and balanced funds did best with median returns of 7.1%, while conservative funds had 6.1% and default funds 5.9% for the year.
