What are Master Portfolios?
- Master Portfolios are designed to help you get started with investing
- There are five example portfolios depending on your aims and attitude to risk
- The underlying funds are selected from our Wealth Shortlist, a list of funds chosen by our analysts for their long term performance potential
- You can tailor each portfolio by changing the percentage invested in each fund according to your own preferences
How do Master Portfolios work?
The portfolios are designed as a starting point, and while each fund is professionally managed, the overall responsibility for selecting and managing the portfolio rests with you. We will send you updates with our latest views on each of the component funds to help you with this.
The portfolios are not personal advice - if you're unsure whether an investment is right for you, contact us for financial advice. All investments fall as well as rise in value - you could get back less than you invest. For this reason we suggest investing for a minimum of five years.
Choose your portfolio style
This portfolio aims to generate a high level of growth and invests in higher-risk areas like emerging markets and smaller companies.
This medium-risk portfolio aims for a reasonable return with less volatility than more aggressive options.
This defensive portfolio aims for modest growth with relatively low volatility, though it can still fall in value.
Children usually have a long investment horizon, so this portfolio invests in higher-risk areas with greater growth potential.
This income portfolio is designed to produce a good level of income with the potential to grow and keep pace with inflation.
