Growth Funds – where we invest

Managed Growth Solutions

The Growth funds offer exposure to a combination of UK equities, overseas equities and bonds dependent on risk profile. The funds provide access to specialist managers in each specific asset class. Skandia’s depth of resources and expertise in manager selection allows us to have high conviction in a relatively small number of specialist managers in each portfolio.

Importantly we do not seek to take excessive risks in asset allocation as we believe no one can get those calls right repeatedly. We use a strategic asset allocation, based on our belief that equities will outperform in the long-term.
