Investment approach

We have built this service on the five pillars of multi-asset investing that we believe are the driving forces that help us deliver your clients’ objectives.

We believe your clients need a fund that is aligned with their investment goals. We have designed each portfolio with a particular investment target and ‘risk profile’ and we aim to keep any potential risk within those set parameters.

Our team reviews all the portfolios regularly and adjusts them when our views on the markets change, aiming to maximise results within your clients' risk profiles. We have extensive experience in third party fund manager research and regularly monitor all external funds the portfolios invest in to ensure they maintain a consistent approach.

We act as shareholders on your and your clients' behalf to influence company actions by voting on motions put forward by boards.

Our portfolios invest across a variety of investment types, from bonds and property to shares in companies traded on UK and international markets. 

These portfolios have access to LGIM’s low-cost index portfolio building blocks to keep the overall charges low, while still taking advantage of wider active investment opportunities where appropriate.

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. The risks associated with each fund or investment strategy should be read and understood before making any investment decisions. Further information on the risks of investing is available from LGIM’s Fund Centres.

While LGIM has integrated Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations into its investment decision-making and stewardship practices, this does not guarantee the achievement of responsible investing goals within funds that do not include specific ESG goals within their objectives.
