abrdn MyFolio
abrdn MyFolio
The MyFolio Index Funds are designed to make investing quick and easy. You simply decide how much risk you are comfortable taking to select the appropriate fund. abrdn will then do the rest to manage it in line with your chosen level of risk.
The trust invests your chosen fund in a range of abrdn tracker funds which generally aim to replicate the performance of an index, such as the FTSE All Share or the S&P 500. When investing in these underlying funds, they combine defensive and growth asset classes. Defensive assets are usually seen as less risky, including funds that typically hold investments such as cash and bonds.
Meanwhile, growth assets are usually seen as more risky, including funds that typically hold investments such as company shares and property. By combining different types of investment, the trust believes it can achieve the best possible return for each risk level. As you move up the risk levels, you would typically expect to see a higher proportion invested in growth assets and less in defensive assets.
There are some additional costs associated with investing in funds, but you can feel reassured by the fact an expert is taking care of your money.
