Active Model Portfolios
Go all active: nine model portfolios built from actively-managed funds.
Actively managed
Choose from six fully diversified, multi-asset portfolios.
Service
We help you stay in control of client conversations with regular updates, webinars, and a dedicated sales team.
A focus on cost
Our Ongoing Charge Figure (OCF) includes our model portfolio fee of just 0.15%, without VAT.
We choose the best active managers
We pool knowledge from across Schroders to find the best active managers around. We’re looking for:
a repeatable investment philosophy
a sound risk management process
a strong investment team
a record of consistent outperformance.
A finely-tuned balance
To help us make the right decisions with strategic asset allocations (SAA), our extensive asset class research forms the base of our investment philosophy. By understanding how assets typically behave over time, we can build portfolios that maximise returns for each level of risk.
Our investment formula
We firmly believe that active management adds value.
Risk mapped
The portfolios are independently risk mapped by Distribution Technology, Defaqto, Finametrica and Synaptic.
And independently rated

Risk considerations
Capital risk: All capital invested is at risk. You may not get back some or all of your investment. Counterparty risk: The portfolios may have contractual agreements with counterparties. If a counterparty is unable to fulfil their obligations, the sum that they owe to the portfolios may be lost in part or in whole. Credit risk: A decline in the financial health of an issuer could cause the value of the instruments it issues, such as equities or bonds, to fall or become worthless. Currency risk: The portfolios may lose value as a result of movements in foreign exchange rates. Derivatives risk: A derivative may not perform as expected, and may create losses greater than the cost of the derivative. Equity risk: Equity prices fluctuate daily, based on many factors including general, economic, industry or company news. High yield bond risk: High yield bonds (normally lower rated or unrated) generally carry greater market, credit and liquidity risk. Interest rate risk: The portfolios may lose value as a direct result of interest rate changes. Leverage risk: The portfolios use derivatives for leverage, which makes them more sensitive to certain market or interest rate movements and may cause above-average volatility and risk of loss. Liquidity risk: In difficult market conditions, the portfolios may not be able to sell a security for full value or at all. Money market & deposits risk: A failure of a deposit institution or an issuer of a money market instrument could have a negative impact on the performance of the portfolios. Negative yields risk: If interest rates are very low or negative, this may have a negative impact on the performance of the portfolios.
