During volatile times when the traditional 60/40 portfolio model comes into question, diversification is essential to protect a client’s capital from the vagaries of markets and the global economy. BNY Investments’ multi-asset strategies place emphasis on protecting capital while sourcing income and growth by investing across different asset classes, geographies, companies and themes, rather than being exposed to a single source of risk.
2
BNY Investments’ multi-asset funds seek exposure to asset classes and underlying securities with inflation-linked revenue streams such as infrastructure, property and renewables, including esoteric areas like music royalties and battery storage. Picking companies with sustainable and growing dividends is also a key tenet of the multi-asset range.

BNY Investments’ multi-asset funds are risk profiled, meaning they can be matched to a variety of client risk attitudes. As well as helping to manage volatility expectations, the funds target a variety of investment outcomes for a client, whether they are seeking income, growth, a balance of the two, or a cash-plus return.
Great multi-asset design needs to be robust enough to accommodate as many possible futures as practicable because, unless you have a valid claim to omniscience, it is irresponsible to build a portfolio that only works on one pathway

1 Source: BNY Investments and Newton, data as of 31 March 2024. Cash and others include currency hedging, derivatives and commodities. Totals may not sum to 100% due to rounding. Dynamic Planner Risk Ratings should not be used for making an investment decision and it does not constitute a recommendation or advice in the selection of a specific investment or class of investments.
Defaqto: Risk Ratings uniquely map fund family members to Defaqto’s 10 risk profiles. These have been created in partnership with Moody’s Analytics. A Risk Rating of 1 indicates that a proposition represents the lowest risk profile; a Risk Rating of 10 indicates the highest risk profile.
Dynamic Planner: Risk-profiling process is driven by rigorous analysis of the underlying asset mix of a fund, as well as considering factors such as the flexibility of the investment mandate, monthly trend analysis of the underlying asset constituents and observed performance. Once this analysis is complete, the data is calibrated to the underlying asset forecast assumptions of the Dynamic Planner model. The expected risk of the fund is then determined using a scale from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest) which can then be aligned to client risk profiles.
Oxford Risk: Oxford Risk uses a quant risk model to determine the long-term risk of any fund or portfolio, providing a robust and reliable solution for mapping investors' risk profiles to suitable investments.
Square Mile: Square Mile is an independent funds research company that ‘rates’ funds, and provides opinion. The ratings are a guide to the conviction that its analysts have in the ability of a fund manager to achieve their outcome objectives over the longer term. The ratings range from AAA, to AA and A for actively managed funds. Rated passive funds are awarded an R for recommended and some younger funds, with shorter track records, are afforded a PP rating, as a ‘Positive Prospect’.
Synaptic: The Synaptic Risk Rating Service is derived from the risk framework provided by Moody's Analytic's Stochastic engine. It has been created to provide advisers with more robust, quantitative measures for risk than is generally available, and provide the opportunity for them to move away from volatility-based ratings.

The way that material ESG factors are assessed may vary depending on the asset class and strategy involved and ESG factors may not be considered for all investments.
1 Newton’s global AUM is adjusted lower to factor in any double counting of affiliate fund or fund-of-fund assets which can occur when a Newton multi-asset strategy invests in a BNY Mellon fund, that is sub-advised by Newton. At end March 2024, total assets invested by Newton multi-asset strategies on this basis was £2.8bn. To avoid double counting we extract these assets from Newton’s global AUM, which results in a total global AUM of £86.9bn for Newton. Mixed Assets and Charities team assets of £12.1bn includes £1.6bn of this form of double-counted assets. Multi-Asset Solutions team assets of £13.9bn includes £1.2bn of this form of double-counted assets. The AUM includes assets under advisement (AUA) for a model of securities that the Firm does not arrange or effect the purchase or sale of securities.
Assets under management (AUM) relates to the combined assets managed by the Newton Investment Management group. From 1 September 2021, Newton group of companies includes Newton Investment Management Limited (NIM) and Newton Investment Management North America LLC (NIMNA).
