Blended MPS

Intermediaries

Our Blended MPS combines a selection of high-quality active and passively managed funds with the aim of providing enhanced returns while reducing the overall cost to your clients.

What is Blended MPS?

Blended MPS offers a choice of seven portfolios, each tailored to different investment goals and risk levels. Our in-house Research team combines a selection of high-quality actively and passively managed funds that hold an assortment of diversified investments. We manage the balance between the two styles, which brings a dynamic approach of investing and allows us to be agile across both styles.

The blend seeks to enhance returns by using actively managed funds, while index funds keep costs down when market efficiencies or investment opportunities exist. The blended allocation follows our Tactical Asset Allocation guidance, as with our active and passive MPS solutions.

Each month, our Investment Committee reviews the most appropriate mix of assets to hold for a given investment objective and key changes in the market.

This blended approach helps us deliver a cost-effective investment solution to generate competitive risk-adjusted returns.
