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 stocks have continued to rally over recent weeks and ended June with their strongest quarterly performance in six years. We are taking profits following this strong rally, reducing the size of our overweight position, viewing some signs of complacency and fragility in technology names. We are adding tactically to commodities, seeing value following the recent decline in prices, with the geopolitical situation still precarious.
