Passive Plus MPS

Intermediaries

Our Passive Plus MPS gives access to a range of lower-cost index funds, carefully selected by our in-house Research team to meet your clients’ needs and risk appetite.

What is Passive Plus MPS?

Our Passive Plus MPS delivers expert portfolio management, just like our standard Managed Portfolio Service (MPS), offering a range of managed portfolios selected by our in-house, expert Research team.

Each month, our Investment Committee reviews what’s happening in the markets and adjusts the portfolios accordingly. However, the underlying funds are predominantly index funds, which means Passive Plus MPS comes with a management fee of just 0.2%.

When appropriate, we’ll add actively managed funds to strengthen diversification and boost long-term performance.
