Investment Options
Multi-asset
Why Multi Asset
Pension schemes are increasingly focusing on achieving strong returns for each unit of investment risk. For defined benefit schemes this reflects concerns on how to close funding gaps in a more predictable manner and manage pressure from sponsors over balance sheet volatility. For defined contribution, the focus reflects the need to build a pensions pot sufficient to secure a sustainable and comfortable retirement. Multi asset funds specifically aim to achieve good total returns with low levels of volatility and for this reason should be central to pension scheme investments.
