The Spectrum solution

SpectrumWith our Spectrum funds you can 'outsource' the asset allocation and fund selection process within a single package. This lets you focus your attention on your clients’ financial planning requirements.

You can choose from a range of six funds. While the full Skandia risk levels range from 1-10, Spectrum is designed to accommodate the requirements of investors with a risk level of 3 to 8. Each fund has an asset allocation designed to maximise the expected return for a given level of risk.

Unlike most other risk-rated funds, Spectrum funds have defined volatility targets. This means they can be matched more closely to clients' risk levels. Other advantages include:

  • A suitable risk managed fund for the majority of client risk profiles (over 95% of investors fall within risk profiles 3-8).
  • A quarterly review of economic data which makes sure that asset allocations reflect long-term volatility targets, keeping them current and appropriate for each risk level.
  • A proven and established risk profiling and asset allocation model developed and supported by Towers Watson.
  • The award-winning management expertise of Skandia Investment Group in selecting and giving access to managers not readily available to the retail market.
