The BENEFITS OF DIVERSIFICATION

Our multi-asset funds aim to deliver attractive, positive long-term returns with lower volatility than traditional growth-oriented strategies. We have an experienced team managing a range of multi-manager strategies, including funds which have a specific focus on growth, income and target returns.

The funds have the flexibility to invest in a broad and diversified range of asset classes, which include fixed income, equities, cash and money markets, commodities and property. The managers can also use derivatives to hedge market risk when this is appropriate. Underlying investment strategies include both total return and opportunistic strategies. Investment views are usually accessed via ‘best of breed’ funds sourced both internally and externally.

We believe that having the flexibility to invest across a broad range of asset classes and strategies can bring significant benefits in terms of diversifying the sources of returns through the economic cycle.  By combining a diverse range of asset classes with our dynamic asset allocation policy, we aim to deliver attractive returns with lower than average volatility.
