We have developed a model portfolio that can work for every type of investor.
PIIC Asset Managment has been at the forefront of the development of risk-based Model Portfolios, working in partnership with many of the leading adviser platforms.\n\nThe key features of our Model Portfolios and their external risk ratings are as follows:
Defensive
This portfolio is designed for investors who are only prepared to accept very limited risk to capital from investing in financial markets and are therefore more willing to accept a lower return. The portfolio will be actively managed and diversified across global financial markets, however in order to reduce the risk of capital losses, an emphasis will be placed on fixed interest holdings and certain other defensive assets. An important way risk will be limited in the portfolio will be to have a maximum exposure to equities of 35% and a minimum allocation to fixed interest and cash of 45%. The portfolio is mainly invested in funds and equities managed by highly regarded specialist managers who are experts in a particular field.

The portfolio provides an actively managed and diversified spread of investments giving access to opportunities across global financial markets. However, while being actively managed in its asset allocation, the portfolio will have a minimum allocation to equities of 20% and a maximum of 50%, together with a minimum allocation to fixed interest and cash of 30%. The portfolio is mainly invested in funds managed by highly regarded specialist managers who are experts in a particular field. These funds combine together to provide broad exposure to global markets together with a focus on areas chosen for their potential either to enhance the returns achieved from the portfolio or to lower its overall level of risk.

However, while being actively managed in its asset allocation, the portfolio will have a minimum exposure to equities of 40% and a maximum of 70%, together with a minimum allocation to fixed interest and cash of 20%. We aim for the overall yield on the portfolio to be higher than that available from a composite index of financial assets and we believe a diversified approach to asset allocation will enhance the opportunities to produce an attractive income yield, and offer good prospects for capital growth.
