Legal & General Multi-Asset Target Return Fund

Stay nimble and roll with the punches

The L&G Multi-Asset Target Return Fund is designed for investors seeking a fund with a nimble investment approach and reduced reliance on market direction. This is a fund that can roll with the market punches and adapt to reduce their impact. The fund accesses uncorrelated sources of returns, from alternative strategies to tactical opportunities, in order to hit four risk and return targets.

Reasons to invest

  • Enhanced risk-managed returns over traditional equity investments
  • Low correlation to core asset classes
  • Nimble risk management approach, particularly in relation to equity drawdowns

    Key risks

    The value of an investment and any income taken from it is not guaranteed and can go down as well as up, you may not get back the amount you originally invested.

    Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

    The fund is a Target Return Fund. This type of fund tries to increase the value of your investment over a period of time, in both rising and falling markets. However, there is no guarantee of returns. You may not get back the money you invest. Target Return Funds use a range of different types of investment strategies and may use derivatives. It is possible that the value of these funds could go down when the market is rising, or may not rise as quickly.

    This fund holds bonds that are traded through agents, brokers or investment banks matching buyers and sellers. This makes the bonds less easy to buy and sell than investments traded on an exchange. In exceptional circumstances the fund may not be able to sell bonds and may defer withdrawals, or suspend dealing. The Directors can only delay paying out if it is in the interests of all investors and with the permission of the fund depositary.

    The fund invests directly or indirectly in bonds which are issued by companies or governments. If these companies or governments experience financial difficulty, they may be unable to pay back some or all of the interest, original investment or other payments that they owe. If this happens, the value of the fund may fall.

    The fund could lose money if any institution providing services such as acting as counterparty to derivatives or other instruments, becomes unwilling or unable to meet its obligations to the fund.

    Derivatives are highly sensitive to changes in the value of the asset on which they are based and can increase the size of losses and gains. The impact to the fund can be greater where derivatives are used in an extensive or complex way.

    The fund may have underlying investments that are valued in currencies that are different from sterling (British pounds). Exchange rate fluctuations will impact the value of your investment. Currency hedging techniques may be applied to reduce this impact but may not entirely eliminate it.

    Investment returns on bonds are sensitive to trends in interest rate movements. Such changes will affect the value of your investment.

    Following the imposition of sanctions on Russian securities and assets being removed from indices the market has been effectively frozen for foreign investors and all equity positions have been marked to zero in line with LGIM’s fair value pricing policy. Regardless of being priced at zero LGIM funds may still own these securities and any value realised in the future will be for the sole benefit of the relevant fund. LGIM will seek to divest from such securities at such a time that market conditions allow consistent with our fiduciary duties and applicable sanctions.
