HL Portfolio Building Blocks

Professionally managed, diversified investments to meet a range of objectives

Important information - This is designed for investors who want to make their own investment decisions without personal advice and understand how to build a diversified portfolio. If you are unsure of the suitability of an investment for your circumstances, please contact us for advice. Investments will fall as well as rise in value so you could get back less than you invest. The HL Funds are managed by our sister company Hargreaves Lansdown Fund Managers.

Why Portfolio Building Blocks?

Our range of Portfolio Building Block funds give you a convenient and diversified way to invest. You can choose from a range of funds invested in a variety of ways, depending on your needs and goals.

If you’re comfortable making your own investment decisions, you can use these funds to build a portfolio or add to an existing one if there’s a sector you’re looking for exposure to.

Building your own portfolio isn’t suitable for everyone. For a more hands-off approach, why not leave it to the experts by investing in a ready-made portfolio?

Each fund invests with managers we believe have an edge over their peers.

What you’ll get:

  • A diversified portfolio, with a mix of different funds and managers
  • Funds that can perform in a range of market conditions - we balance different manager investment styles that could perform well at different times

You’ll get a higher level of service with our fund of manager’s range. This means the cost is higher than for standard funds. Full details of the cost of each fund are shown below. As with all funds, you’ll also pay our platform charge of up to 0.45% each year.
