Capital at risk
Multi Asset Growth
Our Multi Asset Strategy offers exposure to an actively managed, diversified range of assets – an important approach when seeking attractive long-term returns at lower volatility than equity markets.
We take our macro views of the world and integrate them with themes that will drive investment markets over the long term to find the best opportunities.
Taking advantage of diversity
Our mission is simple – we take advantage of a breadth of opportunity across a diverse range of asset classes, aiming to deliver attractive returns with lower volatility than equity markets.
Chasing superior returns
We seek to provide a diverse portfolio of asset classes that has dual objectives, with an equal focus on return and risk.
We take a broad opportunity set and turn it into a single fund. This offers our clients a simple and effective way to achieve diversification at lower volatility levels than equity markets.
Our objectives:
- A return that is 3.5 per cent more than UK base rate over rolling five-year periods
- A positive return over rolling three-year periods
- Volatility of returns below 10 per cent over rolling five-year periods
Low volatility, high value
We look to the future, not the past, creating portfolios that avoid complexity to achieve returns with low volatility.
We identify the major drivers of markets and apply our knowledge and expertise to construct a portfolio that invests across asset classes, incorporating:
- Macroeconomic views
- Long-term return expectations
- Risk and near-term scenario analysis
The result is a top-down, macroeconomic and research-led portfolio, which seeks to generate value for our clients throughout economic cycles.
Changes in the world bring investment opportunities. The unrivalled opportunity set of our Multi Asset funds gives us many ways to generate very attractive returns off the back of these.
