Multi Asset Distribution Dynamics
Multi-asset funds are the investment solution most used by financial advisers. They are used alongside model portfolios, as components within model portfolios and as a standalone product. In our survey for this report, we found that three quarters of financial advice professionals use multi-manager or multi-asset funds with 28% expecting to increase their allocation of client assets to these products in the next three years. In May 2023, the Investment Association reported that 17% of UK retail funds were invested in mixed asset funds.
