What is multi-asset investing?
By investing in a range of asset classes, countries, sectors and currencies, investors can avoid having a concentrated exposure to any one asset class or driver of returns.
Risk management is an essential element of multi-asset investing. We incorporate risk management into our strategies through a combination of advanced modelling techniques, investment judgement, and oversight from our independent risk team. We aim to create portfolios that can perform through a variety of market conditions and that aim to withstand or reduce the impact of negative market events, as we recognise that investors prefer a smoother ride to achieving their goals.
ESG and asset allocation
The Asset Allocation team is committed to being at the forefront of responsible investment, offering clients a dedicated range of sustainable multi-asset options as we integrate LGIM’s responsible investing expertise into our broader range.
ESG considerations are integrated into our investment process at multiple levels, ensuring a holistic approach to the challenge of navigating ESG-related financial risks and opportunities. ESG factors influence asset allocation decisions where material and help us align portfolios to their objectives. At LGIM, we are privileged to have access to a range of ESG-integrated building blocks to incorporate into our portfolios. We draw upon LGIM’s industry-leading climate solutions research, active cross-asset class research forum, and our Investment Stewardship team.

Key risks
The value of any investment and any income taken from it is not guaranteed and can go down as well as up, and investors may get back less than the amount originally invested.
Whilst we have incorporated ESG information into investment decision making and stewardship practices, there can be no assurance that any responsible investing goals will be met.
