Our services for advisers

Multi-Asset Funds

Our Multi-Asset Funds provide a focused, flexible structure that distils our highest-conviction ideas, suited to investors seeking a straightforward multi-asset investment or multi-asset portfolio solution.

Key features
1.

Active management across all portfolios

Our fund managers actively adjust asset allocation in response to market conditions, rather than tracking a fixed index, keeping each multi-asset fund responsive to changing conditions.
2.

Fund range for a wide variety of risk profiles

Our multi-asset funds K range gives advisers a single-fund option across the full risk spectrum.
3.

Real return investment objectives (CPI+)

Each fund targets a CPI+ return, helping clients and advisers assess performance against real purchasing power rather than an arbitrary benchmark.
4.

Exposure to alternatives and specialist hedging

Multi-asset investment through our funds includes access to alternative strategies and hedging techniques not typically available in a simple equity/bond blend.
5.

Competitive total costs

By investing predominantly on a direct basis, our multi-asset portfolio range helps minimise the layered costs commonly found in fund-of-funds structures.
6.

Strategic downside protection

Our portfolios include exposure to our proprietary Protection Strategy, designed to increase in value during periods of acute market stress.

Multi-Asset Funds vs Managed Portfolio Service:

Which Is Right for Your Client?

Multi-asset funds (MAFs) and our Managed Portfolio Service (MPS) are managed by the same investment team and follow the same investment philosophy, process and asset allocation approach, so long-term performance expectations are similar. A multi-asset fund is a single wrapped investment that can be simpler to administer, easier to blend with other solutions and suitable for clients who do not require a bespoke portfolio.

By contrast, MPS portfolios hold individual assets within the client's account, offering greater diversification, more detailed reporting and advance communication on portfolio changes that may have tax implications. While the structures differ, both solutions provide access to the same underlying investment expertise, helping advisers select the most appropriate option for each client's needs.
