The rise of the multi-asset fund of funds

Source: Chart Data - IMA September 2012, quote - IMA 5 November 2012

FCA • Centralised investment proposition

• Replacement business • Assessing suitability

Changing Landscape • IFA to financial planner • Views on outsourcing • Role of the asset manager • Implementation of platforms

Funds of Funds continue to grow market share Richard Saunders, IMA Chief Executive, said:

“Funds of funds continued to be popular with investors in the third quarter of 2012. While sales were lower than a year ago, in common with the wider industry, total funds recorded another new high relative to the industry as a whole. A similar picture emerged for tracker funds, which have been on an upward trend relative to the rest of the industry for the last couple of years. In contrast, ethical funds have now seen net outflows in three of the last four quarters.”

A compelling proposition

Architas offer a range of investment solutions including a range of risk-profiled funds to suit the varying needs of today’s investor.

The value of an investment can go down as well as up and is not guaranteed. Investors could get back less than they invest. *Risk profiles have been calculated on a subjective basis and may not be the same as other providers. It should therefore not be compared to the funds’ actual volatility rates, or to funds or models from other providers.

Embrace the best of both styles Seek most efficient alpha in Actives Seek most efficient tracking in Passives Blend proportionately to deliver scope for

outperformance at attractive price Manage as a portfolio of assets Rebalanced within risk tolerances

Multi-Asset Blended funds - philosophy to methodology

Seek most efficient alpha in Actives • Maximise alpha at a reasonable price − Alpha available in every asset class − Stock selection − Style, size, sector or other bias − Diversification − Conviction

Past performance is not a guide to future performance. The value of an investment can fall as well as rise and is not guaranteed.

Blend proportionately to deliver scope for outperformance at attractive price

Seek most efficient tracking in Passives • Passive exposures for cheap beta − Tactical beta − Target max 50% in passives − Typically 30-40%
