Secure Portfolio
30 September 2015
Comprised mainly of investment strategies designed to weather
turbulent market conditions, the Secure Portfolio is best suited
to investors that want their money to work harder than bank
deposits in exchange for a little more risk. Fixed income and
absolute return type investments feature heavily, especially
those designed to generate positive returns without exercising a
greater amount of investment risk. The portfolio features small
allocations to global equity and inflation-linked investments such
as property, commodities and infrastructure; however the total
allocation to these investments is just 14%.

diversification means that your investment is working for you no matter what investment approach or style is in favour at any given time.

30 September 2015
Designed to achieve greater returns by investing more heavily in
growth-orientated assets and strategies, the Russell Adventurous
Portfolio is invested predominantly in global equities which comprise
57% of the total portfolio. Strategies seeking to keep pace with inflation
also feature significantly. These types of strategies involve investing in
assets that have a demonstrable link to inflation; commodities,
property and infrastructure are all represented here and can help to
defend the portfolio against inflationary pressures. 29% of the portfolio
is allocated to defensive strategies and assets in order to lower overall
portfolio volatility and provide a ‘cushion’ effect in the event of a falling
market. This portfolio is better suited to investors with greater appetites
for risk and longer investment time horizons.

Aggressive PLUS Portfolio
30 September 2015
Russell’s Aggressive Plus Portfolio is the most aggressively allocated
portfolio in their range and is the only portfolio not to feature any of
their defensive strategy allocations. 60% of the total portfolio is
invested in global and emerging market equities, a further 20% is
allocated to UK-only equities and the remaining 20% is allocated to
investments that have a historically demonstrable link to inflation.
These strategies and assets include property, commodities and
infrastructure, which have proven over the long term to help mitigate
the impact of inflation upon a portfolio. Given the structure of this
portfolio it is suitable only for those with a significant capacity for loss,
very long investment time horizon and a definite appetite for risky
investments.
