Asset Allocation Explained

Equity – Often referred to as shares. Shares are units of ownership in a company which entitle the holder to certain rights for example to exercise voting rights or to participate in the company’s profits.

Fixed Income – Often referred to as fixed interest or bonds. When you invest in bonds, you are typically lending money to a company or a government in return for a defined series of interest payments and the promise that a defined value (called the ‘face’ or ‘par’ value) will be returned at a certain point in time

Property – Investments in property include residential, offices, warehouses and shopping centres.

Cash – Money held in cash or cash-like instruments, often to ensure there are sufficient liquid assets within a portfolio.

Other – Contains other investments such as commodities, preferred stock and derivatives.

Portfolio Risk Explained

Investing involves risk, but there are many types of 'risk' so it's important to be clear about what it really means for you and your money. When investors talk about risk they're often thinking about things like getting disappointing returns, losing money, failing to keep pace with the cost of living or missing out on a specific goal.

What we're really talking about here is uncertainty. It's hard to measure, but one approach is to look at the volatility of the investments in your portfolio – how much they have tended to fluctuate in value. The more risk you take with your investments, the higher the rewards might be, but the potential to lose money also increases. Too much risk might be expensive and stressful to live with, but too little could mean your investments don't keep pace with inflation and lose their buying power over time.

The key is to find the level that's right for you – the level that you're comfortable with and able to cover financially. Finding it depends on a number of things

Measuring investment risk

Measuring the level of risk in an investment portfolio is difficult. Risk measurement methods use mathematical tools and techniques and are based on a number of assumptions, often based on how an investment has performed in the past. As we know however, what's happened in the past isn't necessarily a good predictor of what might happen in the future so this should always be borne in mind when using portfolio risk measures.

How to use risk measures

Despite their limitations, with a proper understanding of how they should be interpreted, risk measures can be a useful tool in the investment decision making process. They should always be regarded as useful indicators and nothing more – to help inform your investing decisions but not to drive them in their entirety.

Equity Styles Explained

Market capitalisation is an indication of the size of the companies being invested in. It is calculated by multiplying the number of shares issued by the company by the current share price. Market capitalisation is divided into ‘large’, ‘medium’ or ‘small’ according to the below:

Large – Companies that have a market capitalisation greater than $10 billion.

Medium – Companies that have a market capitalisation between $2 billion and $10 billion.

Small – Companies that have a market capitalisation below $2 billion.

Companies can be categorised as ‘value’, ‘blend’ or ‘growth’ as defined below:

Value – Companies that are considered to be trading at a share price below what their fundamentals would suggest.

Blend – Companies that do not exhibit solely value or growth characteristics.

Growth – Typically well-established companies which are considered to have above average prospects for long-term growth.

ESG Pillars Explained

Morningstar's ESG Pillar Scores help investors understand how a fund is performing in three key areas: Environmental (E), Social (S), and Governance (G). These scores break down the overall sustainability risk of a portfolio into these specific categories.

Each score reflects how much environmental, social, and governance factors contribute to the overall risk of companies in the fund. The scores are averaged based on the size of each company in the portfolio. Lower scores mean lower risk.

To receive these scores, at least 67% of the fund’s assets must be rated for their ESG risk. This provides investors with a clearer view of a fund’s exposure to sustainability risks in different areas.
