Governed Retirement Income Portfolios (GRIPs)
An investment proposition specifically for income drawdown.
They come with the same expert governance and automatic updates that the Governed Portfolios benefit from to help keep the portfolios on track.
All about GRIPS
There are five Governed Retirement Income Portfolios to choose from depending on the client's attitude to risk.
They are based on sensible risk targets which take account of the level of risk required to achieve a particular level of income.

Governed Retirement Income Portfolios, or GRIPs, for short, are designed for people who want to enjoy flexible access to their savings. When it comes to risk and asset allocation, GRIPs take a different view. They aim to limit the impact of market volatility on your client's retirement savings when they're taking a regular income. And they benefit from the same regular reviews, hands-on supervision, and ongoing fine tuning, as our Governed Portfolios.
Our Governed Retirement Income Portfolios (GRIPs) are designed for customers who are looking to take a regular income.
