For more kinds of life
We provide a broad range of multi-asset solutions combining different mixes of equities and bonds. The right one for your client will depend on their investment goals, time horizons and risk appetite.
The key feature that all our multi-asset solutions have in common is a strategic approach to asset allocation, meaning they target a certain level of risk and reward over the long term.
As an adviser, you can also enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing Vanguard is a global leader in providing multi-asset solutions for investors.

Focus on your clients, leave the rest to us
Our research suggests clients greatly value the uniquely human skills advisers offer, as well as their emotional support and guidance through sometimes difficult market conditions.
At the same time, advised clients tend to favour automation for portfolio related tasks such as asset allocation and rebalancing3.
This is the beauty of our multi-asset solutions. Once you've decided which one suits your client's goals and appetite for risk best, you can leave the portfolio tasks to us, and focus on what they really want from you; your advice and guidance.

Target Retirement Funds
Target Retirement Funds are designed to make investing for retirement simple. By automatically adjusting the amount of equities in the portfolio over time, the funds are designed to take more risk in the early stages of investment in order to generate returns, and reduce that risk as an investor approaches retirement and begins to draw down their savings.
ActiveLife Climate Aware
Vanguard’s ActiveLife Climate Aware funds are designed for investors who want to generate long-term growth from their investments, while allocating assets based on certain ESG considerations.
