Cautious (Growth)

Risk score 2 on a scale of 1 to 6

Portfolio Strategy Description

An investment portfolio appropriate for this risk level may contain, for example, mainly lower- and medium-risk investments such as cash, bonds and property, with a few higher-risk investments such as shares. While a portfolio like this should go up and down in value less than a ‘high-risk’ portfolio, the value of investments can always go down as well as up.

Important Information

Data assumes all income is reinvested. The annual returns shown are indicative only. Returns will depend on a variety of factors, including the exact timing of investments, taxation and the exact charges applying. The figures given are based on past returns and do not include any of the costs associated with investing. Performance does not reflect trading in actual accounts (and is therefore gross of all management fees except fund charges). There is no guarantee that asset classes or the costs associated with investment will remain consistent. The Telford Mann performance history has been created to correspond with all fund switches, asset allocation changes and rebalance dates. However, the performance history does not take into account instances where it has been necessary to rebalance the overall portfolio as a result of changes made within one or more of the underlying asset classes. There may therefore be slight discrepancies between the performance figure shown here and that achieved in reality.

This document is provided for information purposes only and does not constitute any form of financial or investment advice. Past performance is not a guide to future investment performance. The value of your investments as well as any income derived from them can fall as well as rise and you could get back less than the amount invested. We believe the information in this document to be correct at the time of going to press and is based on our current understanding of legislation and tax allowances which may change in the future. As such changes cannot be foreseen, we cannot accept responsibility for any loss accessioned to any person as a result of action or refraining from action of any item herein.

Performance has been compared against an appropriate benchmark.
