Prudential Risk Managed funds

Our Risk Managed funds include two ranges of multi-asset funds that work by spreading an investor’s money across multiple different types of assets. 

Those could include, for example, company shares (equities), fixed interest bonds and cash – from both the UK and abroad. 

By investing in a number of different types of asset, the fund manager aims to balance the risk that is being taken. So if one asset is falling in value then another may be increasing. Of course, there could be times when all the assets in the fund are either rising or falling in value depending on the market conditions at that time. 

An important point to remember is that the value of your investment can go down as well as up and you may not get back the amount you put in.

Prudential Risk Managed Active Funds

The Prudential Risk Managed Active funds are a range of five globally diversified funds, each with their own risk profile.  

They invest at least 70% of its assets in other funds which are “actively managed” (i.e. the managers of active funds decide what to buy and sell rather than track the performance of, for example, an index). The fund names are:

  • Risk Managed Active 1

  • Risk Managed Active 2

  • Risk Managed Active 3

  • Risk Managed Active 4

  • Risk Managed Active 5

Prudential Risk Managed Passive Funds

The Prudential Risk Managed Passive funds are a range of five globally diversified funds, each with their own risk profile.  

They invest at least 70% of its assets in other funds which are “passively managed” (i.e. the managers of passive funds buy and sell investments with the aim of matching the return of, for example, an index). The fund names are:

  • Risk Managed Passive 1

  • Risk Managed Passive 2

  • Risk Managed Passive 3

  • Risk Managed Passive 4

  • Risk Managed Passive 5
