Multi-asset investing
A multi-asset investment strategy combines different types of asset classes to create a nimble and broadly diversified portfolio. Multi-asset strategies can help you achieve a number of investment outcomes.
Benefits of multi-asset strategies
Multi-asset strategies offer flexibility to meet investment goals with broad options for investing across sectors, and more diversification than other investment strategies.
Choosing a strategy
An investment strategy that works well for one person may not be the best fit for another. As with any investment decision, it's important to first understand what you're trying to achieve and then identify the best strategy to get there.
Unlike a single asset class, these funds are able to invest across the investment landscape and may include equities, alternatives, bonds, and cash. It’s important to note: multi-asset strategies are not necessarily executed exclusively via multi-asset funds.
Multi-asset strategies offer enormous flexibility to meet specific investment goals, with broad options for investing across securities and sectors. These types of strategies also offer more diversification compared to investing solely in fixed income or equity funds.
Many multi-asset funds are actively managed, which means a portfolio manager and team of investors are using analysis, insights, technology, and tools to make informed investment decisions. Multi-asset fund managers may choose to invest more assets overseas, shift assets from equities to bonds, dial back risk, or seek opportunities in non-traditional asset classes – all with the intention of driving better investment outcomes.
Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. It’s possible to choose an objective that may not align with your actual investment goals. For example, you may invest in an aggressive strategy when a more conservative approach might be more suitable. On the other hand, if you take too conservative an approach, it may become more difficult to achieve your long-term goals. Carefully analyze funds and strategies to determine which approach best suits your needs.
A multi-asset strategy can be a powerful tool for achieving your investment objectives, but a strategy that works well for one investor may not be the best fit for another. As with any investment decision, it's important to first understand what you're trying to achieve and then identify the best strategy to get there.
You may want to consult a financial professional for advice on which multi-asset strategy might be best for you.
