The Multi Asset Team at Royal London Asset Management have made a tactical change to the asset allocation of the Governed Portfolios (GPs) and Governed Retirement Income Portfolios (GRIPs).

What’s changing?

Global equities have continued their strong summer rally and now sit at fresh all-time highs. Growth stocks in particular have surged on Fed rate cut expectations, and AI optimism. We are adding at the margin to stocks, with corporate earnings and improving economic conditions both supportive for the asset class. Elsewhere, we are maintaining our current positioning in bonds and commodities.
