Governed Portfolios have a fixed risk target with a 10% tolerance either side, i.e. we will always aim to keep the volatility of the strategic asset allocation for Governed Portfolio 4 between 11.3% and 13.8% p.a. A higher portfolio volatility figure indicates we would expect the portfolio to produce a wider range of returns than the target volatility figure while a lower portfolio volatility figure indicates we would expect returns to be more stable than the target volatility figure.
