Smoothing – done differently

Our funds are uniquely equipped to support risk-sensitive clients. We offer a smoothing feature that reduces the day-to-day volatility of investing:

  • It works by averaging daily unit prices over the last 26 weeks.
  • It still means that the value of your client’s investment can go down as well as up - just less so each day.
  • It helps your clients by reducing the impact of daily price volatility on their pension investment.
  • In response to your feedback, our enhanced smoothing process starts averaging fund prices right from the beginning of your client's investment.
