Discover multi-asset funds

Multi-asset funds aim to offer investors a way to access greater diversification.

 

Why multi-asset?

BNY Mellon Investment Management’s multi-asset range comprises strategies that help a range of investors achieve their goals, whether it’s individuals saving for and in retirement or institutions.

 

 

1

Diversification

 

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 Mellon Investment Management’s 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

Income and growth

 

BNY Mellon Investment Management’s 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.

 

 

3

Risk profiling

 

The BNY Mellon Investment Management 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

BNY Mellon Multi-Asset Balanced Fund

Objective: To achieve a balance between income and capital growth over the long term (5 years or more).

Benchmark: The Fund will measure its performance against the UK Investment Association Mixed Investment 40-85% Shares NR Sector average as a comparator benchmark (the “Benchmark”). The Fund will use the Benchmark as an appropriate comparator because it includes a broad representation of funds with levels of equity and bond exposure similar to those of the Fund. The Fund is actively managed, which means the Investment Manager has discretion over the selection of investments, subject to the investment objective and policies as disclosed in the Prospectus.

Objective: To achieve capital growth and income over the long term (5 years or more).
Benchmark: The Fund will measure its performance against the UK Investment Association Flexible Investment NR Sector average as a comparator benchmark (the “Benchmark”). The Fund will use the Benchmark as an appropriate comparator because it includes a broad representation of funds with the same flexibility, in terms of equity and bond exposure, as the Fund. The Fund is actively managed, which means the Investment Manager has discretion over the selection of investments, subject to the investment objective and policies as disclosed in the Prospectus.

Income-orientated

BNY Mellon Multi-Asset Income Fund

Find out more
Objective: To achieve income together with the potential for capital growth over the long term (5 years or more).

Benchmark: The Fund will measure its performance against a composite index, comprising 60% MSCI AC World NR Index and 40% ICE Bank of America Global Broad Market GBP Hedged TR Index, as a comparator benchmark (the “Benchmark”). The Fund will use the Benchmark as an appropriate comparator because the Investment Manager utilises this index when measuring the Fund’s income yield. The Fund is actively managed, which means the Investment Manager has absolute discretion to invest outside the Benchmark subject to the investment objective and policies disclosed in the Prospectus. While the Fund’s holdings may include constituents of the Benchmark, the selection of investments and their weightings in the portfolio are not influenced by the Benchmark. The investment strategy does not restrict the extent to which the Investment Manager may deviate from the Benchmark.


The Fund can invest more than 35% of net assets in different Transferable Securities and Money Market Instruments issued or guaranteed by any EEA State, its local authorities, a third country or public international bodies of which one or more EEA States are members.

Objective: To achieve income over the medium term (3-5 years).
Benchmark: The Fund will not measure its performance against a benchmark because it is not possible to state a comparator that will be relevant at all times. Instead, the authorised corporate director (ACD) invites investors to consider the Fund’s yield versus other fixed income investment products that seek to generate income. The Fund is actively managed, which means the Investment Manager has discretion over the selection of investments subject to the investment objective and policies disclosed in the Prospectus.

Absolute Return

BNY Mellon Multi-Asset Diversified Return Fund

Find out more
Objective: To achieve long-term capital growth over a period of at least 5 years from a portfolio diversified across a range of assets. The Fund is managed to seek a return in excess of cash (SONIA (30-day compounded)) +3% per annum over five years before fees. In doing so, it aims to achieve a positive return on a rolling three year basis (meaning a period of three years, no matter which day you start on). However, a positive return is not guaranteed and a capital loss may occur.

Benchmark: The Fund will measure its performance before fees against SONIA (30-day compounded) +3% per annum over five years as a target benchmark (the “Benchmark”). SONIA is a nearly risk-free rate meaning no bank credit risk is included, the rate can rise or fall as a result of central bank policy decisions or changing economic conditions. The Fund will use the Benchmark as a target for the Fund’s performance to match or exceed because it is representative of sterling cash and the Fund’s investment objective is to seek a return in excess of sterling cash +3% per annum. The Fund is actively managed, which means the Investment Manager has discretion over the selection of investments, subject to the investment objective and policies as disclosed in the Prospectus.

Absolute Return

BNY Mellon Real Return Fund

Objective: To achieve a rate of return in sterling terms that is equal to or above a minimum return from cash (SONIA (30-day compounded)) + 4% per annum over five years before fees. In doing so, it aims to achieve a positive return on a rolling three year basis (meaning a period of three years, no matter which day you start on). However, capital is in fact at risk and there is no guarantee that this will be achieved over that, or any, time period.

Benchmark: The Fund will measure its performance before fees against SONIA (30-day compounded) +4% per annum over five years as a target benchmark (the “Benchmark”). SONIA is a nearly risk-free rate meaning no bank credit risk is included, the rate can rise or fall as a result of central bank policy decisions or changing economic conditions. The Fund will use the Benchmark as a target for the Fund’s performance to match or exceed because, in typical market conditions, it represents a target that will be equal to or greater than UK inflation rates over the same period and is commensurate with the Investment Manager’s approach. The Fund is actively managed, which means the Investment Manager has discretion over the selection of investments, subject to the investment objective and policies as disclosed in the Prospectus.

BNY Mellon FutureLegacy 3 Fund

Objective: To achieve capital growth and potential for income over the long term (5 years or more) while being managed to a pre-defined level of risk. The Fund will aim to maintain a risk profile classification of 3 from a scale of 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest) which is assessed against the risk ratings scale provided by an external third-party risk rating agency.

Benchmark: The Fund is actively managed without benchmark-related constraints. The Fund uses a composite index, comprising 15% SONIA GBP, 55% ICE BofAML Global Broad Index GBP Hedged and 30% MSCI ACWI GBP NR as a point of reference (comparator) against which the ACD invites Shareholders to compare the Fund’s performance. The ACD considers the composite index to be an appropriate comparator because it includes a broad representation of the asset classes, sectors and geographical areas in which the Fund predominantly invests.

The BNY Mellon FutureLegacy funds are actively managed typically by using forward-looking expectations of volatility. In doing so, the Investment Manager uses its own internal risk model, whilst also considering external independent risk profiling methodologies. Based on a risk profile scale of 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest), the funds target risk profiles of 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 but this is not guaranteed. The risk profile targeted by each of the BNY Mellon FutureLegacy funds can be identified through the number included in the respective fund’s name. This risk profile is not the same as the risk and reward category shown in the funds’ Key Investor Information Document(s). The risk profiles of the funds are currently assessed against the risk ratings scale provided by Dynamic Planner, but is subject to change at the ACD’s discretion.

KEY INVESTMENT RISKS APPLICABLE TO ALL FUNDS

  • Currency Risk: This Fund invests in international markets which means it is exposed to changes in currency rates which could affect the value of the Fund.
  • Derivatives Risk: Derivatives are highly sensitive to changes in the value of the asset from which their value is derived. A small movement in the value of the underlying asset can cause a large movement in the value of the derivative. This can increase the sizes of losses and gains, causing the value of your investment to fluctuate. When using derivatives, the Fund can lose significantly more than the amount it has invested in derivatives.
  • Changes in Interest Rates & Inflation Risk: Investments in bonds/money market securities are affected by interest rates and inflation trends which may negatively affect the value of the Fund.
  • Credit Ratings and Unrated Securities Risk: Bonds with a low credit rating or unrated bonds have a greater risk of default. These investments may negatively affect the value of the Fund.
  • Credit Risk: The issuer of a security held by the Fund may not pay income or repay capital to the Fund when due.
  • Emerging Markets Risk: Emerging Markets have additional risks due to less-developed market practices.
  • CoCo's Risk: Contingent Convertible Securities (CoCo's) convert from debt to equity when the issuer's capital drops below a pre-defined level. This may result in the security converting into equities at a discounted share price, the value of the security being written down, temporarily or permanently, and/or coupon payments ceasing or being deferred.
  • Counterparty Risk: The insolvency of any institutions providing services such as custody of assets or acting as a counterparty to derivatives or other contractual arrangements, may expose the Fund to financial loss.

Risks applicable to BNY Mellon Multi-Asset Diversified Return Fund,   BNY Mellon Real Return Fund, BNY Mellon Sustainable Real Return Fund, BNY Mellon Global Dynamic Bond Fund and BNY Mellon Sustainable Global Dynamic Bond Fund

  • Performance Aim Risk: The performance aim is not a guarantee, may not be achieved and a capital loss may occur. Funds which have a higher performance aim generally take more risk to achieve this and so have a greater potential for returns to vary significantly.

 

Risks applicable to BNY Mellon Multi-Asset Balanced Fund, BNY Mellon Multi-Asset Income Fund, BNY Mellon Global Dynamic Bond Income Fund, BNY Mellon Real Return Fund, BNY Mellon Sustainable Real Return Fund, BNY Mellon Global Dynamic Bond Fund and BNY Mellon Sustainable Global Dynamic Bond Fund

  • Charges to Capital: The Fund takes its charges from the capital of the Fund. Investors should be aware that this has the effect of lowering the capital value of your investment and limiting the potential for future capital growth. On redemption, you may not receive back the full amount you initially invested.

  • Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and/or the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect ("Stock Connect") risk: The Fund may invest in China A shares through Stock Connect programmes. These may be subject to regulatory changes and quota limitations. An operational constraint such as a suspension in trading could negatively affect the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective.

  • Investment in Infrastructure Companies Risk: The value of investments in Infrastructure Companies may be negatively impacted by changes in the regulatory, economic or political environment in which they operate.

 

Risks applicable to BNY Mellon Multi-Asset Income Fund

  • High Yield companies risk: Companies with high-dividend rates are at a greater risk of not being able to meet these payments and are more sensitive to interest rate risk

  • Sustainable Funds Risk: The Fund follows a sustainable investment approach, which may cause it to perform differently than funds that have a similar objective but which do not integrate sustainable investment criteria when selecting securities. The Fund will not engage in stock lending activities and, therefore, may forego any additional returns that may be produced through such activities.

 

Risks applicable to BNY Mellon Multi-Asset Moderate Fund, BNY Mellon FutureLegacy 3 Fund, BNY Mellon FutureLegacy 4 Fund, BNY Mellon FutureLegacy 5 Fund, BNY Mellon FutureLegacy 6 Fund and BNY Mellon FutureLegacy 7 Fund

  • Volcker Rule Risk: The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation or one of its affiliates ("BNYM") has invested in the Fund. As a result of restrictions under the "Volcker Rule," which has been adopted by U.S. Regulators, BNYM must reduce its shareholding percentage so that it constitutes less than 25% of the Fund within, generally, three years of the Fund's establishment (which starts when the Fund's manager begins making investments for the Fund). Risks may include: BNYM may initially own a proportionately larger percentage of the Fund, and any mandatory reductions may increase Fund portfolio turnover rates, resulting in increased costs, expenses and taxes. Details of BNYM's investment in the Fund are available upon request.

 

Risk applicable to BNY Mellon Global Dynamic Bond Fund

Geographic Concentration Risk: Where the Fund invests significantly in a single market, this may have a material impact on the value of the Fund.

 

The value of investments can fall. Investors may not get back the amount invested. Income from investments may vary and is not guaranteed.
