Multi-Asset Investing
The Momentum Multi-Asset Fund Range uniqueness is based on our well developed and refined outcome-based investment approach and process, and the underlying funds hold a wide range of investment holdings that include both direct equities and investments from talented third party fund managers as well as a wide range of alternative assets for the markets and opportunities we see today. The fund range encompasses different risks and outcomes aligned to an investor’s needs, each delivered through a well-diversified range of assets. Our heritage in multi-asset investing coupled with strong research expertise allow us to capitalise on new opportunities as they appear.
As well as a wide diversification of assets we also use a blend of investment styles and approaches, this is core to our outcome-based investment approach.
Investment approach
Our Diversified Fund range is a risk rated set of Funds designed to suit a wide range of clients’ needs and objectives. The Funds are a combination of risk-rated, outcome-based strategies and are designed to compliment the diversification of investor portfolios through their different approach and holdings.
The Funds have a disciplined and proven investment process and can be accessed either directly or via a wide range of life company and investment platforms. The Funds are managed by our investment team, consisting of very experienced investment professionals with many complimentary skills and capabilities, working together to deliver the best possible outcome for clients aligned with their investment objectives.
Strategic asset allocation
Our approach to strategic asset allocation focuses on outcome-based investment principles where we seek to optimise allocations both strategically and tactically to ensure a high probability of delivering against the fund’s objectives, which include a real return target over a minimum investment holding period, and as smooth a client investment experience / journey as possible during the investment. In the dynamic investment markets, we see tactical asset allocation plays an increasingly important part in optimising the approach on that journey.
Investment selection
Within Equities we combine both a direct and talented third party manager approach, selected through a strong and robust research process, these managers tend to be specialist with a single focus and strong process. Within Fixed Income, the Funds select quality experienced managers who have a highly selective and differentiated approach. In Alternatives, the Funds invest in a wide range of assets and opportunities such as property, infrastructure, private equity and specialist lending which we expect to deliver long term sustainable returns, more reliable than equities and with more growth potential than bonds.
Bringing the combination of all these areas together, we believe is a truly unique and differentiated approach.
