What are multi-manager funds?
A multi-manager investment is a strategy that invests in numerous funds controlled by other asset managers. This combines the styles and expertise of several investment managers, with the aim of minimising risk and exposure in fluctuating market conditions.
Diversification
With some multi-manager funds, you are able to select the spread of your investments; in others, the spread is chosen for you. The key is that numerous investment managers are investing within those asset classes on your behalf, drawing on their own specialised expertise.
Through these investment managers, you are able to gain access to a broader range of asset options both locally and abroad, and achieve a much higher level of diversification than is possible via a traditional fund. This can allow your investment to target higher returns, while spreading and minimising your risk.
