Why choose our Smoothed Managed Funds?

Choose from five multi-asset funds designed to help grow your clients’ money while reducing the impact of short-term stock market volatility. Our proven smoothing process is based on real-world performance and backed by a 20-year track record.

What are the key benefits of our Smoothed Managed Funds? 

  • Funds managed in partnership with BlackRock, one of the world’s largest asset managers.
  • Risk-rated by multiple leading agencies to help you assess client suitability.
  • Access to member benefits and our mutual bonus.

 

The funds are a stock market investment, so your clients’ investments can go down as well as up – they could get back less than invested. While the smoothing process helps reduce impact of short-term volatility, it will not prevent losses during longer term falling markets.

Please note:

Although it’s unlikely, we may, at our discretion, need to suspend the smoothing mechanism to protect our members and our business. This could be required if the underlying daily fund price was less than 80% of the value of the smoothed price, or in other exceptional circumstances. In the rare event we do need to take this step, the fund would typically be valued on the underlying price or, at our discretion, on a daily gradual averaged price (except ISA which would be valued on the underlying price) until smoothing is reintroduced.
