Designed for drawdown

Drawdown is very different to accumulation and demands a different approach to investing. A market downturn can have a lasting effect on your client’s retirement plans. Add the fact that longevity is often underestimated by up to 10 years1, and the survivability of their retirement pot could be under serious pressure. That’s where Guardian comes into its own.
