Aviva Investors Multi-asset Core Fund IV Class 1
Fund overview
Objective: The Fund aims to grow your investment over the long term (5 years or more) through a combination of income and capital growth. The Fund targets an overall average return before charges and taxes of at least 0.30% greater than the performance benchmark per year, measured over 3-year rolling periods. The Fund aims for an average volatility of 75% of the volatility of global equities.
Investments: The Fund invests in a broad range of global asset classes (including emerging markets) that may include shares, bonds, cash, property, and commodities, and gains this exposure by investing in other funds managed by Aviva Investors companies, directly in these assets, or through the use of derivatives. The Fund makes significant use of derivative instruments for investment purposes.
Strategy & Sustainability Characteristics: The Fund is actively managed and uses an “ESG Approach” when selecting shares and bonds in global developed markets. The Investment Manager also uses an asset allocation model to blend asset classes, which means the proportion of the portfolio allocated to each asset class is not fixed and may vary over time. The allocation model determines, within a range, the Fund's allocation to the different asset classes. The Fund is subject to Aviva Investors’ baseline exclusion policy. This policy excludes investment in companies engaged in economic activities in some sectors that, in Aviva Investors’ view, have sustainability risks that are so severe that providing investment funding to companies active in these sectors is fundamentally misaligned with Aviva Investors’ approach. Full details of the Fund’s Objective & Investment Policy are available on our website and Prospectus. Further information on the ESG Approach, Baseline Exclusions Policy and the limited investment restrictions are set out in the Prospectus.

Risks
Investment risk & currency risk:
The value of an investment and any income from it can go down as well as up and can fluctuate in response to changes in currency and exchange rates. Investors may not get back the original amount invested.
Emerging market risk:
Investments can be made in emerging markets. These markets may be volatile and carry higher risk than developed markets.
Derivatives risk:
Investments can be made in derivatives, which can be complex and highly volatile. Derivatives may not perform as expected, meaning significant losses may be incurred.
Full information on risks applicable to the Fund are in the Prospectus and the Key Investor Information Document (KIID).
UK Sustainable Investment Label
This product does not have a UK sustainable investment label. This is because – although the fund has sustainability characteristics - it does not meet the criteria for a label. Sustainable investment labels help investors find products that have a specific sustainability goal. They can only be applied to funds with an explicit sustainability objective and that meet other specific regulatory criteria for a UK sustainable investment label.
Ongoing Charges
This Share Class integrates Economies of Scale discounts to the Fund Management Fee (“FMF”) which is a component of the Ongoing Charge Figure. Consequently, when a Fund reaches a certain size (a pre-defined “trigger point”) a discount will automatically apply to the FMF. However, at all other times the FMF will be charged at the rate as set out in the Fund's prospectus. For further details on the Economies of Scale discounts and the trigger points at which they apply, please refer to the Fund's prospectus.
