Capital at risk
Sustainable Multi Asset
We look to generate attractive returns over cash with low volatility, investing within a tight carbon budget in line with the Paris Agreement.
Our wide opportunity set and diverse asset mix allow us to create flexible portfolios prepared for different economic conditions.
Limiting carbon, not growth
We offer a breadth of opportunity across a diverse range of asset classes, aiming to deliver attractive returns with lower volatility than equity markets and within a decreasing carbon budget.
Multi Asset Q3 update
The Multi Asset Team reflects on recent performance, portfolio changes and market developments over the last quarter.
Emphasising diversification
We seek to provide a diverse, actively managed portfolio with three equally weighted objectives of return, climate and risk.
We take a broad opportunity set and turn it into a single fund with sustainable qualities. This offers clients an effective way to achieve diversification at lower volatility levels than equity markets.
Our objectives:
- a return of 3.5 per cent more than UK base rate over rolling five-year periods and a positive return over rolling three-year periods
- a carbon footprint maintained below a budget which declines at 7 per cent per annum
- volatility of returns below 10 per cent over rolling five-year periods
Looking to the future, not the past
We’ve been investing in multi-asset portfolios since 2009. We combine our macro views with themes that will drive markets in the long term to find the best opportunities.
We also ask, "is this investment compatible with a sustainable economy?" and apply our expertise to construct a portfolio that incorporates:
- macroeconomic views
- long-term return expectations
- risk and near-term scenario analysis
- environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors
The result is a sustainable, research-led portfolio that seeks to generate value for clients throughout economic cycles.
Change brings opportunities. Short-term changes can be as unpredictable as a river’s meander, but by focusing on long-term trends we think it’s possible to figure out the likely destination.
