Maximising investment opportunities
Our Tactical Active solution takes a dynamic approach to asset allocation, supporting advisers who want to capture potential nearer term investment upside for their clients, or act to give them downside protection. We look at aspects such as current valuations, monetary policy, behavioural trends and the macro-economic outlook to consider the potential impact of current conditions and tilt the portfolios accordingly.
