Hybrid is a range of six risk-managed portfolios each with different levels of potential risk and reward. Invested regionally, they select from the 'Whole of Market' passive and the 'Whole of Market' active investment instruments. They use a long-term strategic asset allocation and a wide range of asset classes. The active tactical asset overlay aims to boost investment returns relative to the strategic asset allocation.
The value of any investment can go down as well as up, so your customer might not get back the amount they put in.
An introduction to the Hybrid Range
In this video, that you can show to your clients, Shanti Kelemen, Chief Investment Officer at M&G Wealth Investments explains more about the Hybrid range.
Hybrid is a range of six risk-managed portfolios invested in a blend of active and passive funds:
- The majority of the portfolio is invested in funds that hold equities and bonds from specific regions, such as a UK equity fund or UK corporate bond fund
- Uses a blend of actively managed investment funds and passively managed investment funds. M&G Wealth determines where passive and active funds are used, taking into account the potential to generate returns in excess of the fund costs
- The portfolios contain circa 17 to 25 funds, depending on the risk profile
- Available on a wide range of platforms
- 0.15% discretionary management fee
