Why is forward-looking fund risk profiling important?
→ Last 20 years have seen volatility for higher yield debt and equity fall considerably
→ Now similar levels to UK gilts
→ Interest rate normalisation and end of benign markets ahead?

Over seven years £10,000 made
total return of £16,348 (7.3% pa)
This risk has been unnoticed because of benign
markets (blue line)… but the risk hasn’t gone away

since pension freedoms came into force.” FCA Sector Views, January 2019

What our clients say
“I don’t think there is anything else out there like this – it’s a new document for
a new process, which, because of MiFID II, advisers have to produce now,”
said Chris Miller, Miller Associates.
“Dynamic Planner is way ahead of the pack with this,”
said Nick Ryan, Yellow Bear Financial Consultancy.
“It’s the way forward for me as an independent adviser,”
said Dmitry Morgan, Morgan Financial. “It puts me in the same position as
large national firms, in terms of their very slick presentation and will definitely
save me time.”
“Elements produces an impressive report, which demonstrates to your clients
that as a firm you are professional and you know what you’re doing,”
said Gary King, GK Financial Solutions.

M&G Sustainable Multi Asset Fund
Main risks associated with this fund
The value and income from the fund's assets will go down as well as up. This will cause the value of your investment to fall as well as rise. There is no guarantee that the
fund will achieve its objective and you may get back less than you originally invested.
The fund is exposed to different currencies. Derivatives are used to minimise, but may not always eliminate, the impact of movements in currency exchange rates.
The fund may use derivatives to profit from an expected rise or fall in the value of an asset. Should the asset's value vary in an unexpected way, the fund may lose as
much as or more than the amount invested.
Investments in bonds are affected by interest rates, inflation and credit ratings. It is possible that bond issuers will not pay interest or return the capital. All of these events
can reduce the value of bonds held by the fund.
Investing in emerging markets involves a greater risk of loss due to greater political, tax, economic, foreign exchange, liquidity and regulatory risks, among other factors.
There may be difficulties in buying, selling, safekeeping or valuing investments in such countries.
In exceptional circumstances where assets cannot be fairly valued, or have to be sold at a large discount to raise cash, we may temporarily suspend the fund in the best
interest of all investors.
The fund could lose money if a counterparty with which it does business becomes unwilling or unable to repay money owed to the fund.
Further details of the risks that apply to the fund can be found in the fund's Prospectus.
Other important information:
The fund allows for the extensive use of derivatives

were trading at their ‘fair value’, then neutrality would be how a fund was positioned, given its strategy and risk profile. However, assets seldom trade at fair value, so the actual
allocation of each fund may not match the neutral position.

  • 76. 76 M&G Sustainable Multi Asset Fund Main risks associated with this fund The value and income from the fund's assets will go down as well as up. This will cause the value of your investment to fall as well as rise. There is no guarantee that the fund will achieve its objective and you may get back less than you originally invested. The fund is exposed to different currencies. Derivatives are used to minimise, but may not always eliminate, the impact of movements in currency exchange rates. The fund may use derivatives to profit from an expected rise or fall in the value of an asset. Should the asset's value vary in an unexpected way, the fund may lose as much as or more than the amount invested. Investments in bonds are affected by interest rates, inflation and credit ratings. It is possible that bond issuers will not pay interest or return the capital. All of these events can reduce the value of bonds held by the fund. Investing in emerging markets involves a greater risk of loss due to greater political, tax, economic, foreign exchange, liquidity and regulatory risks, among other factors. There may be difficulties in buying, selling, safekeeping or valuing investments in such countries. In exceptional circumstances where assets cannot be fairly valued, or have to be sold at a large discount to raise cash, we may temporarily suspend the fund in the best interest of all investors. The fund could lose money if a counterparty with which it does business becomes unwilling or unable to repay money owed to the fund. Further details of the risks that apply to the fund can be found in the fund's Prospectus. Other important information: The fund allows for the extensive use of derivatives
