Multi-Asset Accumulator Fund Range

The Pacific Multi-Asset Accumulator range consists of four risk targeted, blended multi-asset funds investing across active, passive and smart-beta strategies to create cost efficient, highly diversified, unbiased portfolios.

This unbiased approach means investors get the best of both worlds: the skills and market insights of expert active investors combined with the cost-efficiency of passively managed funds.

Our portfolios contain a mix of five broad asset classes: equities, fixed income, alternatives, diversifying assets and cash. By adjusting this mix, we can create portfolios that match an investor’s particular investment goals and appetite for risk.

The asset allocation of the funds is actively managed and continually adjusted to navigate prevailing market conditions. These modern portfolios can be assessed directly or via PAM’s Core Growth MPS range where they act as a forward-looking overlay.

EQUITIES

Equities are company shares traded on a stock market. A firm’s share price can fluctuate rapidly, so equities are a higher-risk investment than fixed income – but one that offers the potential for higher returns.

FIXED INCOME

Fixed income investments are generally bonds – loans to companies or governments that generate regular interest payments. They are popular with investors who are prepared to accept lower returns for lower risk. Fixed income is often used to diversify a portfolio, although at Pacific Asset Management it’s not the only diversifying asset we use.

Alternatives

Alternative assets can bring further diversification and enhance returns to a portfolio by including in it investments such as property and commodities.

Diversifying assets

Diversifying Assets are those that, over the long term display a low correlation to both equity and fixed income asset classes. Often, diversifying assets are exposures capable of targeting absolute returns through offsetting positions across and within asset classes. Pacific target these exposures in a cost efficient, transparent way.

Cash

In general, cash is the safest asset of all – but the one that provides the lowest returns. The biggest risk with holding your money in cash is that its value will be eroded by inflation.

Access: blended modern approach

Combining Active management, Passive and Factor exposures

Active

Utilising the skills and market insights of expert active investors with the goal of beating the market returns and minimising loss.

Passive

Highly cost efficient way of capturing market based returns via passively managed funds.

Factor

A modern technique that aims to systematically recreate traditional portfolios by using low cost, exchange traded instruments. Learn more about how we use factor investing below.

Direct

Investing directly in assets such as Government Bonds keeps costs low and allows for more precise control over interest rate risk.

How we use Factor Investing

One of the things that sets Pacific’s Multi-asset Accumulator Range apart is our use of inhouse ‘factor’ investing and analysis when selecting assets.

At Pacific, we think differently about diversification. Instead of building portfolios based purely on a mix of asset classes, we consider the underlying factors that determine the risks associated with those asset classes. Such factors might include the price trends of the equity market, the quality of companies’ balance sheets and earnings or the size of a company.

Dedicated factor investing team

At Pacific Asset Management, we have a dedicated team of specialists who use factor investing to understand what makes asset classes behave as they do. Their insights allow us to use diversifying assets to better balance risk return.

Why Invest?

Truly multi-asset solutions designed to accommodate a range of client risk appetites and returns expectations.

A blended modern investment approach combining active, passive and direct investments across a diversified, global mix of asset classes.

Highly diversified, liquid portfolios investing across active, passive and smart-beta strategies.

Dedicated factor investing allowing for a broad brush understanding of asset classes to really dig into the ‘DNA’ of markets.
