Benefits of the service

High quality, active asset allocation using passive investments.

Pairing dynamic, top-down investing with low-cost index tracking has proven itself over time. These portfolios are passively implemented, using index tracking collective vehicles to build out our ideas.

We keep underlying investment management fees as low as possible for minimum impact on investment performance. Seeking the best total return while remaining within the stated level of risk.

Our investment approach draws on the rigour of the Charles Stanley’s Centralised Investment Process, including outputs from our Investment Strategy Forum and monthly Asset Allocation meetings.

The value of investments, and any income derived from them, can fall as well as rise and may be affected by exchange rate variations. Investors may get back less than invested. Performance is calculated on a Total Return basis using a notional portfolio in FE Analytics. Performance is net of Charles Stanley investment management fees but not adviser fees nor platform costs. Any charges and fees applied by platforms and/or authorised intermediaries will be charged in addition to the charges shown. The Total Ongoing Charges Figure (TOC) is calculated on a periodic basis using a weighted average of the most recent publicly available Total Ongoing Charges for the underlying investments as at the date of the factsheet. This includes the underlying funds’ Ongoing Charges Figure plus Transaction costs plus Incidental costs. Please note that whilst we endeavour to show all charges associated with specific funds, sometimes this is not possible due to the information not being made available by the fund provider. In such cases transaction or incidental cost information may be missing. The Indicative Yield is provided for guidance purposes only and is calculated on a periodic basis using a weighted average of the most recent publicly available income yields for the underlying investments. Yields for the underlying funds, and thus for the strategy, are likely to differ in the future. The Indicative Yield does not represent guaranteed income. Portfolios linked to this Model Portfolio may not exactly replicate the model due to the difference in timing of initial investment or rebalancing differences resulting from minimum transaction size limits on platforms. The management and rebalancing of this Model Portfolio does not take Capital Gains Tax into consideration.
