We are currently living in a turbulent world with rising uncertainty over geopolitical risks and inflation. This means your clients may wish to look to a relatively simple strategy that could offer balance over time:
- When a fund has a relatively straightforward and highly liquid structure, clients can easily understand the drivers of the portfolio’s returns, which is highly beneficial in the current market environment.
- Global Allocation is designed to deliver a balance of growth, capital preservation and income over time, which makes it suitable for investors in pursuit of multiple objectives.
- With its enhanced resilience amid equity market volatility since inception1, this fund could be a solution for your clients today, given the current climate.
Global Allocation is positioned to address near- and long-term opportunities and challenges by having exposure to:
- Companies/issuers that have strong earnings growth and dividend growth potential
- Companies/issuers with strong pricing power to combat inflation
1. Since inception on 31 January 2014, the fund has outpaced the MSCI All Country World Index when the index has fallen more than 10%.
The fund seeks the balanced accomplishment of three objectives: long-term growth of capital, conservation of principal and current income by investing in equities and bonds as well as other fixed income securities from around the world.
Global Allocation combines on-the-ground, bottom-up research with top-down macro insights:
- The fund accesses Capital Group’s extensive equity and fixed income research capabilities, with our global team of analysts working together to identify promising opportunities across equity and fixed income.
- Our portfolio managers utilise high-conviction ideas derived from a blend of fundamental and macro research, as well as a combination of bottom-up and top-down views, to construct a well-diversified portfolio.
Capital Group has more than 45 years of multi-asset investment experience. These capabilities date back to the 1970s, when we launched our first multi-asset fund in the US.
The Global Allocation portfolio manager team have an average of 28 years' investment experience. They have a deep understanding of market complexities, with the individual freedom to invest in their highest convictions.
Taking the long view
We base our investment decisions on a long-term perspective, aligning our goals with the interests of your clients. Superior, long-term returns are our goal. Global Allocation managers are rewarded for their results, not the level of assets they manage.
Breadth of experience
Our process enables individual investment professionals to act on their highest convictions while limiting the risk associated with isolated decision-making. We draw on their diverse knowledge and experience to build the portfolio.
Deep, fundamental research
The scale and scope of our proprietary research, built over 90 years, allows us to uncover what we believe to be compelling investment opportunities for our clients. Investment analysts conduct thousands of research visits globally every year. The outcomes of these are then combined with comprehensive macro analysis. This approach has been essential to the results we have delivered to our investors.
Capital Group manages equity assets through three investment groups. These groups make investment and proxy voting decisions independently. Fixed income investment professionals provide fixed income research and investment management across the Capital organisation; however, for securities with equity characteristics, they act solely on behalf of one of the three equity investment groups.

Risk factors you should consider before investing:
- This material is not intended to provide investment advice or be considered a personal recommendation.
- The value of investments and income from them can go down as well as up and you may lose some or all of your initial investment.
- Past results are not a guide to future results.
- If the currency in which you invest strengthens against the currency in which the underlying investments of the fund are made, the value of your investment will decrease. Currency hedging seeks to limit this, but there is no guarantee that hedging will be totally successful.
- The Prospectus – together with any locally-required offering documentation – set out risks, which, depending on the fund, may include risks associated with investing in fixed income, derivatives, emerging markets and/or high-yield securities; emerging markets are volatile and may suffer from liquidity problems.
