- Investment objective
The Aberdeen MPS range aims to achieve a total return over the long term, from both income and capital growth, through 5 diversified portfolios of collective investment funds. The range is intended for investors with a very low through to a medium high attitude to risk. Each of the 5 portfolios invests in a wide variety of assets, via funds that in turn invest in equities, fixed interest, alternatives and money markets. This blend of assets should help to dampen down volatility over the long term.
