Multi-Asset: How the inflation riddle could affect markets
The debate around inflation remains live and centres on whether, if at all, the dynamics of price pressures have altered in recent years.
Multi-Asset
Blending a broad range of asset classes to target your risk-reward requirements.
Risk warning
The value of investments, and the income from them, can go down as well as up and an investor may get back less than the amount invested. Past performance is not a guide to future results.
Why now for multi-asset?
One way to potentially achieve positive returns in an inflationary world is through a broad mix of different assets. This includes those where underlying revenues have an explicit link to inflation (e.g. infrastructure) and those where history indicates an indirect link (e.g. precious metal royalties). You can find such a mix in our well-balanced multi-asset strategies.
Target your outcome
Many of our multi-asset strategies are designed to target specific goals and risk-reward requirements – from tactical asset allocation to diversified income/growth to absolute ‘cash-plus’ return strategies. Strategies can be further customised to meet your clients needs.
Focus on sustainability
We want our multi-asset strategies to contribute to the long-term health of society and our planet. So we assess environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors when we invest and take climate into account in our strategic asset allocation. You can also choose from specialist sustainable strategies.
Investing responsibly in Diversified Assets
We analyse the risks and opportunities, including those influenced by ESG factors, for every investment that we make.
In the Diversified Assets team our focus is on providing genuine diversification. We do this by identifying and capturing the best long-term opportunities across a broad range of asset classes. Typically, we access alternative asset classes through listed investment companies and traditional asset classes through specialist teams within abrdn. Our tailored approach considers ESG factors within asset classes as well as in the asset allocation process. It is supported by our centralised Stewardship and ESG Investment team.
All clients invest to create a better future for themselves and their families. This may be to fund their lifestyle or for their own retirement. Now, they can invest to promote a better future for our planet and for subsequent generations, by embracing ESG. Our Diversified Assets approach is designed to target that better future for our clients and to help towards building a sustainable future for generations to come.
Sustainable investing
We have developed our sustainable investing approach, from over 30 years of experience. ESG considerations are now an integral part of our decision making.
