Barclays Global Beta
Global Beta offers a range of globally diversified portfolios that operate as collective investment schemes and invest in exchange traded funds (ETFs). ETFs are index-tracking investment funds traded on global stock exchanges.
ETFs are also lower cost than active strategies as they simply track an index and therefore the returns are not reliant on the performance of an active fund manager.
Key features include:
- actively managed asset allocation implemented with low-cost, index-tracking ETFs;
- available in five different portfolios, each one designed to accurately match varying appetites for risk/reward;
- available in euro, sterling and US dollar;
- transparent returns;
- minimum investment of £25,000; and
- as a regulated investment product, Global Beta portfolios may not be suitable for everyone. They closely track the performance of a variety of indices and, as such, their value can go down as well as up, and you may get back less than you invested.
Please note: This product is only available to residents in these locations: United Kingdom, Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Gibraltar, Luxembourg, Spain and France.
