Disclaimer

Investing (e.g., buying shares in a company) does not create these outputs and outcomes: they are instead generated by the activities of our underlying portfolio holdings. An investment can be associated with these measures based on company disclosures and share of ownership. The measures shown will differ depending on the amount invested and portfolio invested in. For an in-depth explanation of our methodology, please click here.

Long-term returns

Eight risk-adjusted portfolio options are available, globally diversified across asset classes – ranging from defensive to all-equity.

Past performance is not a guide to future performance.

The value of investments and the income derived from them may go down as well as up, so you could get back less than you originally invested.

Model portfolio performance is shown in sterling, net of underlying fund charges and an annual management fee of 0.59%, with all income reinvested. Actual client returns and the levels of fees will vary. Annual management fees will vary depending on assets under management and the level of service. We use the UK Consumer Price Index (CPI) to benchmark the performance of our portfolios; CPI measures changes in the price level of a weighted average market basket of consumer goods and services purchased by households. Data sources: EQ, Morningstar.
