Adventurous and for the ambitious. This is the highest risk choice out of our three growth approaches, aiming for higher returns.
This fund has some sustainability characteristics due to being responsibly invested. Sustainable investment labels help UK investors find funds that have a specific sustainability goal. This fund doesn’t have a UK sustainable investment label because it doesn’t have a specific sustainability goal.
Highlights

Likely to be a ‘bumpier’ ride than with lower risk investments.

Higher potential to grow your money in the longer term.
- All done for you
Managed for you by our dedicated team of investment experts. All in one neatly packaged approach.
How is your money invested?
Typically 90% of your money goes into higher risk investments with higher potential returns and 10% into lower risk investments with lower potential returns.
Our experts review this mix regularly within the adjustment range, for higher growth potential.

Remember, the value of investments can go up and down, so you may get back less money than you put in. Tax depends on your individual circumstances and the regulations may change in the future.
Where your money’s invested
Our experts manage the mix of investments, within the adjustment range and to achieve the approach objectives.

What do these terms mean?
Bonds: These are like IOUs, used by companies and governments to raise money. The buyer effectively lends money to the seller, in return for interest on their investment over a set amount of time. When that time’s up, the value is paid back.
Gilts: These are just a type of bond. But instead of lending money to a company, it’s lent to the UK Government.
Shares: A share is a tiny bit of a company. Share owners are called shareholders. If a company does well, shareholders are rewarded with a proportion of the profits, paid out as dividends. The value of shares rises and falls according to the company’s performance, and other factors.
Real estate investment trusts (REITs): These are pools of money gathered by a company from investors. They’re used to buy, manage or invest in property and land (real estate) to generate income – a way of investing in commercial property without needing millions.
How the fund invests
Your money is invested in a group of funds, rather than directly in stocks and shares. This is known as a fund of funds.
