Global Equity Fixed Weights (60:40) Index Fund

Fund aim

The investment objective of the fund is to provide diversified exposure to UK and overseas equity markets. The fund will invest 60% in the UK and 40% overseas. The fund's overseas asset distribution is fixed with 14% in North America, 14% in Europe (ex UK), 7% in Japan and 5% in Asia Pacific (ex Japan) within a small tolerance.

Fund characteristics

The fund achieves its objectives by investing in the following LGIM index tracking funds: UK Equity Index Fund, Europe (ex UK) Equity Index Fund, North America Equity Index Fund, Japan Equity Index Fund and Asia Pacific (ex Japan) Equity Index Fund. The underlying funds employ an index tracking strategy, aiming to replicate the performance of their individual benchmarks. We follow a pragmatic approach to managing index funds, either investing directly in the securities of that index, or indirectly through other LGIM funds. The funds may also hold index and single stock futures for efficient portfolio management.
