Barclays Wealth Multi-Manager

Barclays Wealth Multi-Manager gives you access to some of the world's finest investment managers in a single fund.

By identifying investment managers with different talents and strengths, you should benefit from superior diversification and more consistent investment returns.

You have the choice of five investment strategies, each using a different blend of asset classes to match your needs. And we also offer funds targeting particular markets to help tailor your investment as required.

With close to £6 billion already invested, Barclays Wealth Multi-Manager is one of the largest multi-manager providers in the UK. Our size allows us to negotiate better terms with investment managers and also give you access to managers not normally available to individual investors.

And there are lots of other reasons why Multi-Manager is attractive:

10 reasons why

1. A fully implemented solution: Decisions as to which investment managers and assets to invest in are taken for you in keeping with your risk profile and objective.
2. World class investment managers: Your portfolio will include some of the world’s leading investment managers including managers not normally available to individuals.
3. A dynamic manager line-up: We constantly monitor managers and will make changes when we believe they are in your best interests.
4. Superior diversification: Multi-asset portfolios include non-traditional asset classes such as hedge funds and emerging markets in keeping with your risk profile.
5. Efficient investment strategies: Quantitative modelling helps create optimised portfolios, designed to maximise potential return for a given level of risk.
6. Smoother investment returns: A blending of managers of different styles and approaches is designed to generate smoother returns.
7. Dedicated professionals: In addition to selecting and monitoring investment managers, we have dedicated teams focusing on asset allocation and implementation.
8. Dynamic asset allocation: Mix of assets adjusted to reflect the Barclays Wealth view on investment markets for additional return potential.
9. Tax efficient: Investments bought and sold within your portfolio with no capital gains tax.
10. Simplified paperwork: Multiple managers, but consolidated reporting and income.

However, please bear in mind these are medium to long term investments, that is five years or more and that their value and any income from them can go down as well as up. So you might not get back what you originally invested.

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. Talk to one of our advisers about options for holding your investments outside the UK, as well as in euros or dollars.
