Asset allocation is important in comparing funds. Just because a fund has the same benchmark, does mean it has the same risk vs reward profile. Comparing the assets within a fund is important to making sure you are comparing apples with apples.
Our analysts have created multi asset class and single asset class diversified portfolios for you to invest in. You can’t control your returns, but you can control your costs and diversification. We may sound like a broken record talking about cost and diversification but it's because we truly believe in it.
