The actively managed fund will aim to maximise investor returns within a pre-defined volatility band.

"It will employ a targeted strategic asset allocation approach determined by Distribution Technology, a leading risk profiling company, combined with risk-controlled tactical asset allocation of plus or minus 5% in one asset class. The fund will undergo regular portfolio rebalancing with asset allocations reviewed each quarter," the company said in a statement.

Launched in 2007, and co-managed by Rob Burdett and Gary Potter, the F&C Lifestyle range was the first risk-targeted funds launched to UK investors.

Each fund invests in a basket of 25 – 40 funds or instruments and the range has total combined assets of £435 million.

"F&C Investments fund managers Rob and Gary are two of the leading lights in risk-targeted investing, and the launch of this fund will be a strong complement to our existing range of funds, and reflects the growing demand we are seeing for multi-asset, risk-targeted solutions," Yule added.
