MAPS under the microscope
We look in more detail about how MAPS has evolved since launch, how volatility is managed and how ESG criteria are integrated within the range.
MAPS evolution over the decade
Since 2013, the strategic and tactical asset class allocations have evolved to ensure MAPS continues to represent the best of our thinking and capability in order to achieve its long-term risk and performance objectives.
A closer look at how MAPS manages volatility
To mitigate volatility, MAPS employs broad diversification - not only across asset classes but within each asset class. We look under the bonnet at the different methods used to achieved that.
How MAPS integrates ESG criteria within the range
In 2021, MAPS achieved Article 8 status under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR). We examine how ESG criteria are considered within the range.
