Why invest in the Multi-Asset Portfolios?
- A complete range — the breadth of our range offers consistent solutions for virtually all investors in the UK or Europe
- Risk and reward – we judge ourselves on volatility as well as returns, to provide a smoother journey to your financial goals
- Longevity – Our management team has years together with years to come, giving you stability and experience you can trust
- Truly active management – a different take on building portfolios means we have genuinely diversified portfolios
Fund Overview
Our multi-asset funds are designed to be complete portfolios for investors across most time horizons and tolerances of risk. Rather than aiming to beat the stock market or rival funds, we are tasked with making specific returns above either inflation or the Bank of England’s benchmark interest rate over three to five years. We aim to do this while controlling volatility relative to global stock markets. You can view the full range and their objectives here.
Unlike many other fund managers, we don’t diversify our portfolios in terms of whether they are stocks, property, government or corporate bonds, or by where investments are headquartered. Instead, we categorise our holdings according to our LED framework:
- Liquidity - Safe assets, like government bonds, that tend to gain in value during stock market falls
- Equity-type risk – stocks, corporate bonds, and other assets that tend to rise and fall with stock markets
- Diversifiers – investments that behave differently to stock and bond markets during stressed periods
We do this because we believe it’s the best way to ensure portfolio diversification works when you need it most – during a stock market slump. By holding progressively more Equity-type risk, our portfolios can offer greater returns along with greater risk, or volatility.
