They can be ideal solutions for investors who are seeking to diversify their investments over multiple markets, sectors, assets and investment styles. Each portfolio is a basket of assets packaged within a single fund, representing a highly diversified portfolio of global stocks and shares, alternatives, fixed interest and cash.
