Why Diversified Assets for income?
Reduced correlation
Increased correlation between equities and bonds means traditional Multi-Asset Funds might fail to provide sufficient diversification in down markets.
Genuine diversification
Traditional asset classes are sensitive to economic cycles. Listed alternatives such as real estate, infrastructure and special opportunities are less tied to economic cycles and so offer diversification potential.
Access to stable income
Listed alternatives can offer more stable and diversified sources of income than traditional market assets.
