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?

We have further reduced the size of our overweight allocation to equities as the global macro picture continues to deteriorate. Global equities have continued to decline from their recent highs, with US stocks leading these losses. This deterioration in macro indicators has also seen us reduce exposure to high yield bonds. Elsewhere we maintain an overweight to commodities, which have resumed outperformance amid rising geopolitical tensions over the last month.
