HL Building Blocks

HL Building Blocks

  • A simple and convenient way to diversify across sectors.

  • Funds built to perform in a range of market conditions.

  • A balanced mix of investment styles from hand-picked fund managers across the globe, backed by HL's expert oversight.

Important information - These funds are designed for investors who are comfortable investing for at least 5 years, want to make their own investment decisions without personal advice, and understand how to build a diversified portfolio. If you're not sure what's right for you, ask for financial advice. Investments and income from them will fall as well as rise in value so you could get back less than you invest. These funds are run by Hargreaves Lansdown Fund Managers, part of the Hargreaves Lansdown Group. If you invest, HL will receive the fund's ongoing management charge as well as the HL account charge.
