A groundbreaking investment solution from BMO Global Asset Management
Active management at passive prices– that’s extraordinary
BMO Universal Multi-Asset
Portfolio range
Multi-Asset Solutions For professional investors only
The investment world has seen wave after wave of change in recent years, with ever more regulatory scrutiny on suitability and costs. Together with pension freedoms, these changes have created a market that is asking for low-cost solutions and getting mainly passive answers. A situation that needs real innovation to broaden investor choice.

The ability to actively manage at passive prices – now that is extraordinary
BMO Global Asset Management has always sought to respond to market needs. Now investors are able to select an active low-cost solution, which aims to ensure that while their risk tolerances are being managed, their investment is seeking to deliver on their return expectations.
Capped at 0.29% OCF (Ongoing Charges Figure) for an actively managed, risk-targeted multi-asset solution, the BMO Universal Multi-Asset Portfolio (MAP) range is groundbreaking and designed to meet advisers’ current needs.
The value of investments and any income from them can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the original amount invested.
In response to the changing market place, most providers offer investors a binary choice - low-cost OR active. BMO Global Asset Management provides something uniquely different.
The growth of passive fundsThe solution to the low-cost challenge from many multi-asset providers has been portfolios mostly based around passive products. Passives have a role to play as they offer exposure to the stock market at a low cost. This is good news when markets are rising. However, unlike many ‘active’ managers, they typically offer little opportunity to out-perform the markets they track and perhaps more importantly, offer little or no protection when that market is falling.
Change requires innovatorsIn the provision of low-cost active solutions, there has been little in the way of innovation from the investment industry. Why is this? Because to meet these demands calls for the rare combination of scale, a breadth of investment capabilities, and a culture of innovation.

BMO Universal Multi-Asset Portfolio range
Source: BMO Global Asset Management as at 22.05.18. *CPI = Consumer Price Index. Return expectations are derived from a combination of the modelled historical asset allocation and return expectations for each asset class. Return expectations for each asset class are based on current yield for fixed income assets and a combination of dividends and gross domestic product (GDP) growth for equities. The value of investments and any income from them can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the original amount invested.
Our new multi-asset solution has costs capped at 0.29% OCF by investing mainly in internal managers. It is an institutional calibre product that is universally available. These globally diversified portfolios invest in individual securities, derivatives, collective schemes and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Five of the funds aim to deliver a steady, long-term, risk-controlled return, while the sixth is designed to yield a regular, annual income of 4.0 – 4.5%.
The range has been designed on three key principles. Capital is at risk and investors may not get back the original amount invested.
risk-controlled – CPI + return expectation
cost-focused – capped 0.29% OCF designed to meet the need for high quality, low-cost investment solutions
active – combining strategic and tactical allocations with individual stock selection

Active investing with institutional rigourOur team has access to our global investment expertise, and allocates investment mandates to our managers. Our investment process has three important components:
Strategic asset allocationOur strategic asset allocation provides the foundation for your potential long-term returns. It is the main lever of our investment process and aims to position the portfolios appropriately with a long-term perspective of the economic cycle. We take an evolutionary approach to this process, with quarterly reviews rather than annual. This allows for further minor shifts in the approach, ensuring we keep within volatility levels.
The top down asset allocation process uniquely combines our proven and independently assessed quantitative process, with a qualitative evaluation by our team. As we do not outsource the asset allocation process, we have more flexibility within our permitted ranges of assets. Importantly, this process has been independently assessed by leading risk-rating providers.
Manager selectionWe choose managers who we believe have the experience and expertise to select the best securities. We look for top in-house managers who have a long track record of beating benchmarks.
Tactical asset allocationOur tactical asset allocation is reviewed monthly because, as we have often seen, events can occur at any time in the cycle. Being active can help increase return and reduce risk within the portfolios when events occur.
The Multi-Asset team, along with asset class specialists, review:
asset class allocation between equities and bonds on a global basis
geographical allocations within equities
sub-asset class allocations within fixed income
The BMO Universal MAP range is actively managed on a regular basis at every level. A major achievement for a low cost multi- asset solution.

A fresh perspective from a proven management team
At BMO Global Asset Management we have a core belief that active management adds value, and this is particularly true when the economic outlook is more unsettled. Our active approach is forward looking and designed to give us flexibility, the ability to respond to events, while also benefiting from a robust and disciplined process.
