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?

Politics have moved into focus for investors, as we have seen the beginning of a US government shutdown, Japanese elections and the resignation of the new French Prime Minister. Despite this, investor sentiment has remained bullish and global equities have continued to rise. With a supportive technical backdrop and resilient macro data we are increasing our overweight to the asset class. Elsewhere we are marginally adding to commodities and deepening our bond underweight.
