Barclays Wealth Multi-Manager

Multi-manager investing is a simple concept that aims to deliver returns and manage risk. Unlike a traditional fund, in which a single fund manager controls all of the money and investments in a fund, our Multi-Manager portfolios spread your money across different asset types and funds managers. By not putting all your eggs in one basket, we help you diversify your investments and reduce your exposure to risk.

Our Multi-Manager portfolios draw on the expertise of fund managers from some of the world’s top investment management companies. We constantly survey the market, skilfully selecting and blending the managers we consider are likely to perform well in the future. As a multi-manager investor, you’ll gain access to a range of asset classes, management styles, sectors and geographic regions that would not otherwise be available to individual investors.

Whether you're a cautious investor, more adventurous, or somewhere in between, we have a portfolio to fit your risk profile.

The option to invest offshore

Barclays Wealth Multi-Manager funds are also available as offshore investments, domiciled in Dublin and Luxembourg. It may be that holding your investment outside the UK benefits you from a taxation perspective.
