A multi-asset strategy combines a broad mix of asset types to create an agile, and more diversified, investment portfolio. The asset types may vary, but generally include assets – such as bonds, real estate, stocks or cash – which are strategically selected to help investors achieve their desired investment outcomes. Depending on what these outcomes are, assets are selected for their ability to drive growth, return income, minimise risk or any combination of these. Multi-asset strategies may include tactical shifts designed to capture short- and medium-term market dislocations.
