About the MA Explorer Funds

The primary objective of the six Multi-Asset Explorer funds is to generate capital growth and/or income over the long term, which we define as five years or more. To achieve this, the funds explore the best investment opportunities across a range of asset classes, geographies, sectors and funds. The names of the funds represent the maximum exposure they can each have to equities: 35%, 45%, 60%, 70%, 85% and 100%. In managing these funds, the Multi-Asset team uses passive vehicles where it is appropriate to do so and they are available and invest in actively managed funds where we believe the opportunity to deliver higher returns is greatest or where passive funds are not an option.

While unlike the Multi-Asset Blended and Multi-Asset Dynamic Passive ranges, the Multi-Asset Explorer funds do not target risk, the latter are risk profiled.

Investment process

Strategic asset allocation (SAA)
The SAA is the primary determinant of suitability and long-term risk and returns for investors. To determine the SAA, historical returns and volatilities of a range of asset classes, as well as their correlations with each other, and other market dynamics are collated and studied. The SAA is updated annually and have a 15-year time horizon.
Tactical asset allocation (TAA)
TAA determines the exposure weightings to asset classes versus the SAA. Each asset class and the overall market are given a score from 1 to 5. The data provide a quantitative perspective on the attractiveness of an equity market versus other markets and its own history. The scorecard informs the weights that are expressed through portfolio construction.
Portfolio construction
We test the performance and interaction of factors, such as value, growth, or size, over the long term and identify a blend that will provide the most effective risk-adjusted exposure. The use of passive vehicles depends on availability and suitability. The target manager allocations and TAA weights combined provide a target holding size for every manager. 
Manager selection
Managers are subjected to quantitative analysis of current and past positioning. We analyse the drivers of their performance, particularly their stylistic exposures. We consider manager philosophy and process, team and business structure, incentivisation, stock selection process, portfolio construction, and historical and current positioning. We ensure selected funds are suitable from an operational and compliance perspective.
Implementation
The team implements the process in a manner that treats customers fairly, creates consistency across the fund and portfolio ranges wherever possible, finding an optimal balance between trading and portfolio turnover, and ensuring the implemented holdings reflect the team’s views. Underpinning all of this is the need to remain suitable for investors from a risk and mandate perspective. 

As the Fund is targeting the volatility expected by investors, then there will be short-term periods when the Fund may underperform relative to the market and other funds, especially those seeking to generate capital growth without a volatility target. The Fund typically performs well on a relative basis when diversification is rewarded by markets.
