Our approach

We offer a range of pooled funds and bespoke solutions that provides investors with an off-balance sheet alternative to traditional short-term bank investments. Our solutions offer a way of diversifying across a wide range of high-quality instruments and issuers, while at the same time enhancing yield opportunities.

Although security of capital is always our primary concern, our active, diversified approach aims to maximise yield and deliver investors their required levels of liquidity.

Currently we manage over £41 billion for our liquidity clients (including our parent - Aviva plc - which gives us strong pedigree and experience in managing cash and fixed income investments).*

Benefits

Our approach to capital preservation, yield and client service are what sets us apart.

Capital preservation

Security of capital is of utmost importance to clients. It is therefore imperative that we maintain a liquid and stable vehicle to deliver our internal and external clients' desired outcomes.

Yield

While stability is our primary goal, we aim to deliver competitive yields without diluting security of capital.

Client experience

Delivering exceptional client service is a major differentiating factor between money managers. We aim to deliver high levels of client servicing and manage the whole client experience with focus and attention to detail.

Key risks

For further information on the risks and risk profiles of our funds, please refer to the relevant KIID and Prospectus. 

This is not a guaranteed investment, an investment in a Money Market Fund is different from an investment in deposits and can fluctuate in price meaning you may not get back the original amount you invested. The risk of loss of the principal is to be borne by the investor.
