We offer a comprehensive range of services, from optimising strategic and tactical asset allocation, to building multi-asset portfolios with alternative investments
Multi-asset funds provide exposure to a diverse mix of asset classes – including stocks, bonds, cash, and alternatives – in a single investment portfolio.2 Managers often target specific outcomes or goals such as a particular level of return, less volatility, less risk, income, or more diversification.
Diversification is one of the key benefits of multi-asset funds. When a portfolio is exclusively invested in one asset class, it becomes vulnerable to downturns affecting that asset class. Multi-asset funds seek to increase portfolio diversification by allocating investments among several classes. This may help reduce risk and volatility compared to single asset class options.
Risks of multi-asset funds include market risk where all asset classes underperform, the risk of interest rate fluctuations impacting debt investments, credit risk from potential default by debt issuers, and liquidity risk if underlying investments are difficult to sell. Additional risks include expense ratios which can erode returns, derivatives risk from complex instruments used for hedging or growth, and currency risk from international investments.
Financial professionals may choose multi-asset funds for their clients for a variety of reasons. Accessing multiple asset classes through one fund can be more efficient, simpler, and more likely to avoid overlapping exposures than accessing the same collection of asset classes through separate investments.
Investors can access multi-asset strategies through mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and model portfolios.
Multi-Asset: alternative sources of diversification remain crucial
We believe investors need to ensure they have alternative sources of diversification within their multi-asset toolkit. Georgina Taylor for the Multi-Asset Strategies UK team shares her views on the outlook and opportunities.
