AXA Wealth said that each fund within the new range, which is available through the firm’s standalone products, the Retirement Wealth Account, Investment Bond and Trustee Investment Plan, has a different asset allocation, based on its risk profile.

According to AXA Wealth, the benefits of new risk-rated passive range will include: risk-profiled to control the amount of risk investors are exposed to; exposure to different markets does not rely on single market index performance; access to a diverse range of underlying assets; passive funds have lower research costs and tend to have lower charges; and Architas investment expertise.

Nick Elphick, managing director of AXA Wealth Specialist Products, said: "Our new range of passive funds, which sit within five different risk-profile bands, offer advisers and their clients a lower-cost, long-term investment strategy."

The company said that by combining risk-profiling with passive funds, it is possible to create a retirement solution that allows clients some control over the amount of investment risk they take that is typically available for less than 0.5% per year.
