Overview

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The Fund aims to provide a return, from a combination of capital growth and income, with volatility lower than that of the MSCI ACWI Index, over the long term. Performance target: To outperform SONIA by 4% per annum, before the deduction of charges, over any 5 year period.

More

The Fund invests in Collective Investment Schemes (other funds including those managed by Janus Henderson and Exchange Traded Funds) to provide diversified global exposure to a range of assets including shares (equities) of companies, bonds issued by companies and governments, and to a lesser extent, alternative assets such as property and commodities. The Fund may also invest in other assets including shares (equities), bonds, cash and money market instruments. The Investment Manager may use derivatives (complex financial instruments) with the aim of making investment gains in line with the Fund’s objective, to reduce risk, or to manage the Fund more efficiently. The Fund is actively managed with reference to SONIA, as this forms the basis of the Fund's performance target. For currency hedged Share Classes, the rate that corresponds with the relevant Share Class currency is used as the basis of the performance comparison. The Investment Manager has complete discretion to choose investments for the Fund.

Less

The value of an investment and the income from it can fall as well as rise as a result of market and currency fluctuations and you may not get back the amount originally invested.

Index Description

SONIA stands for Sterling Overnight Index Average. SONIA reflects the average of the interest rates that banks pay to borrow sterling overnight from other financial institutions. The Bank of England is the administrator for SONIA and they are responsible for its governance and publication every London business day. It is the basis for the performance target of the fund.

The E Acc share class was launched on 07/08/2019. Performance prior to that date is past performance based on the A Acc share class of the same fund which has a different current ongoing charge included of 1.69.
Note that any differences among portfolio securities currencies, share class currencies and costs to be paid or represented in currencies other than your home currency will expose you to currency risk.  Costs and returns may increase or decrease as a result of currency and exchange rate fluctuations.
Performance fees are charged separately as a way of rewarding the investment manager for superior returns or for outperforming specified targets. A Performance Fee is accrued where the NAV outperforms the relevant Hurdle NAV (subject to a High Water Mark).

From 19 April 2021, the share class benchmark changed. Past Performance before 19 April 2021 is shown for the previous share class benchmark.
Fund charges will impact the value of your investment. In particular, the ongoing charges applicable to each fund will dilute investment performance, particularly over time.
Please note the performance target is to be achieved over a specific annualised time period. Refer to the performance target wording within the objective.

Multi-Asset Quarterly Outlook: Fortunes diverge as the cycle extends

An extended cycle may signal success in achieving a soft landing, but it also sets up a diverging set of risks for equities and bonds.

  • ​The value of the Funds and the income from them is not guaranteed and may fall as well as rise. You may get back less than you originally invested.
  • ​Past performance does not predict future returns
  • Third party data is believed to be reliable, but its completeness and accuracy is not guaranteed.
  • Shares/Units can lose value rapidly, and typically involve higher risks than bonds or money market instruments. The value of your investment may fall as a result.
  • An issuer of a bond (or money market instrument) may become unable or unwilling to pay interest or repay capital to the Fund. If this happens or the market perceives this may happen, the value of the bond will fall.
  • When interest rates rise (or fall), the prices of different securities will be affected differently. In particular, bond values generally fall when interest rates rise (or are expected to rise). This risk is typically greater the longer the maturity of a bond investment.
  • The Fund invests in other funds (including exchange-traded funds and investment trusts/companies). This may introduce more risky assets, derivative usage and other risks associated with the underlying funds, as well as contributing to a higher level of ongoing charges.
  • The Fund may use derivatives to help achieve its investment objective. This can result in leverage (higher levels of debt), which can magnify an investment outcome. Gains or losses to the Fund may therefore be greater than the cost of the derivative. Derivatives also introduce other risks, in particular, that a derivative counterparty may not meet its contractual obligations.
  • If the Fund holds assets in currencies other than the base currency of the Fund, or you invest in a share/unit class of a different currency to the Fund (unless hedged, i.e. mitigated by taking an offsetting position in a related security), the value of your investment may be impacted by changes in exchange rates.
  • When the Fund, or a share/unit class, seeks to mitigate exchange rate movements of a currency relative to the base currency (hedge), the hedging strategy itself may positively or negatively impact the value of the Fund due to differences in short-term interest rates between the currencies.
  • Securities within the Fund could become hard to value or to sell at a desired time and price, especially in extreme market conditions when asset prices may be falling, increasing the risk of investment losses.
  • The Fund could lose money if a counterparty with which the Fund trades becomes unwilling or unable to meet its obligations, or as a result of failure or delay in operational processes or the failure of a third party provider.
  • Funds incur costs as a necessary part of buying and selling the underlying investments, these are otherwise known as portfolio transaction costs, and include charges such as broker commission and Stamp Duty.
  • Before investing in any of our funds you should satisfy yourself as to the suitability and the risks involved, you may wish to consult a financial adviser.
  • If you invest through a third party provider you are advised to consult them directly as charges, performance and terms and conditions may differ materially.
