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?

Stock markets have rallied back towards all-time highs over recent weeks, as risk appetite has been supported by easing tensions in the Middle East. We are marginally adding to equities against an improving technical backdrop, with volatility now at subdued levels. Elsewhere, we are moving neutral on commodities following the reduction in geopolitical risks but continue to remain broadly neutral on bonds in the current macroeconomic climate.
