| Strategy | How it works | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Flexible fixed income | Invests in bonds without fearing interest rate movements | Aims to generate potential returns across different rate environments |
| Diversified equity exposure | Invests across equity markets, aiming to benefit from both rising and falling prices to help balance risk | Aims to participate in upswings while helping cushion downturns |
| Macro trading (currency and rate operations) | Captures opportunities in currencies and rates across market conditions | Aims to generate potential returns less dependent on the overall market cycle |
Returns independent of the markets.
Most investments depend on the markets (equity indices like MSCI World, Eurostoxx and/or bond indices like Bloomberg Aggregate); on the other hand, the All Weather portfolio combines strategies designed to generate returns in all market situations.
For example, in 2022, when equity and bond markets recorded significantly negative performance, this strategy delivered positive returns.
TOTAL RETURN 5 years up to July 2026: 40.4%, 6.9% annualised
Chart shows cumulative return, rebased to 1.0 at the start of the period. Global Inflation Linked, Global High Yield and Global Aggregate indices are shown in GBP-hedged share classes (£hdg). Indices are shown for illustrative comparison only; the portfolio does not track or aim to replicate any of them.
Management fees are charged on all assets in your portfolios. You'll also incur average fund costs (around 0.16% per year) and market spread effects (up to 0.05% per year).
The platform fee applies to all Wealth assets combined. VAT included where applicable.
From digital advice to one-to-one support with a Dedicated Qualified Wealth Manager, our Wealth tiers are designed to give you the right level of guidance as your investment needs grow.
The All Weather portfolio is designed to complement the equity, balanced or fixed-income investment you already hold, but you can also choose it as your sole active portfolio.
In terms of risk level, it sits above the Smart Yield portfolios (Cash Yield and Enhanced Yield), below the aggressive equity and balanced portfolios, and on par with balanced portfolios such as P4. Unlike these, however, it offers potential returns uncorrelated to market movements, reducing the overall market dependency of your investment.
| Investment Style | Portfolio | Goal and potential time horizon | Risk tolerance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Smart Yield | Cash Yield | Very short-term liquidity (up to 12 months) | Any risk tolerance |
| Enhanced Yield | Short-term liquidity (1 to 3 years) | Any risk tolerance | |
| Classic and ESG | P1 | Short and medium-term bond portfolio. Income objective. | Low risk tolerance |
| Classic and ESG | P2 / P3 | Short and medium-term cautious portfolios | Low risk tolerance |
| Absolute Return | All Weather | Medium-term solution with returns uncorrelated to markets (3 to 6 years) | Medium to high risk tolerance |
| Classic and ESG | P4 / P5 | Medium-term balanced portfolios | Medium to high risk tolerance |
| Classic and ESG | P6 / P7 | Long-term dynamic and equity portfolios | High risk tolerance |
| Thematics | Multi-trend, Technology, Sustainability, Crypto | As a satellite to increase diversification within the equity portion of a portfolio | High risk tolerance |

¹Simulated data (backtest) for the period Dec. 2021 – May 2026. The performance shown is the result of a simulation of the Flessibile line and does not represent actual returns achieved by a portfolio. The calculation was carried out by applying the current fund composition to historical data. For simulation purposes, where the current share class did not have a complete historical track record, the share class of the same fund with the longest available track record was used, with returns adjusted to reflect the current Total Expense Ratio (TER). The simulated performance assumes a semi-annual rebalancing to restore the target allocation.

We calculated the average costs of the competing fund category considering the average of ongoing fees and an approximation of one-off fees (entry/exit fees). The comparison is against an average investment in Moneyfarm's Gestione Patrimoniale (Wealth Management), inclusive of the service's recurring fees (plus VAT) and the underlying instruments.
The portfolio is managed by Moneyfarm through the selection of active institutional funds. Its composition may vary over time depending on market conditions. In some cases, where unavailable, non-institutional fund classes may be selected.

It is a portfolio that invests in three different types of strategies (flexible bonds, risk-hedged equities and currency/rate operations) with the aim of generating potential returns even when markets are falling.
It's designed for those who want to complement their traditional investments with a strategy that behaves differently when markets are struggling. The recommended horizon is 3–6 years and the risk level is medium (3 out of 7). It's not suitable if you're looking for capital guarantees or a fixed return.
Moneyfarm fees are the same as the Classic and ESG portfolios (from 0.70% per year for investments up to £50,000, down to 0.25% above £1,500,000). No entry, exit or performance fees.
No, as with all investments, the value of the portfolio can go down as well as up. The objective is to achieve a positive return over the recommended horizon, but there are no guarantees. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
The recommended horizon is 3–6 years, but you can disinvest at any time with no additional costs.
It invests in a set of funds selected by professional managers: flexible bond funds, equity funds that can gain both when markets rise and when they fall (reducing overall exposure to equity market risk) and funds that operate on currencies and interest rates.
The risk level is 3 out of 7 (where 1 is the lowest risk and 7 the highest). This indicator, set by European regulation, reflects how much the portfolio's value can fluctuate over time
The choice to use active funds rather than ETFs relates to the nature of the investment solution itself.
All Weather is the portfolio within Absolute Return Investment Style and it uses so-called absolute return (or "flexible") strategies, such as equity strategies designed to perform in both rising and falling markets, and macro trading, which require highly active, non-directional instruments, unlike most ETFs currently available on the market, which we prefer for our more traditional portfolios.
Building a portfolio that isn't dependent on market movements therefore requires active managers with flexible mandates.
