  • The VT Redlands Portfolios
    The VT Redlands Portfolios What are the VT Redlands Portfolios? The VT Redlands Portfolio funds each invest in one of four defined “asset classes” namely the Equity, Multi-Asset, Property and Fixed Income categories. Each fund carries a prescribed Risk Profile on a scale of 1 to 7 – with for example Equity being the highest at a factor 5. Each one is used as a building block in the creation of bespoke risk rated investment portfolios for clients of David Williams IFA. By combining the four VT Redlands funds with other asset classes such as With Profits/ Smoothed Managed and Structured Equity funds, our clients can enjoy the benefits of a very wide level of diversification within their portfolios. This reduces volatility and creates the potential for rewarding rates of return year after year. Each Portfolio fund is constructed as a Fund of Funds providing access to the “best of the best” sector funds from a huge investment universe. The Portfolios are designed to meet their objectives as efficiently as possible whilst keeping costs to a minimum and are run according to a strict risk-control criteria. Typically, 15 to 25 different funds are held in each portfolio, with each one in turn managed by leading investment houses such as Fundsmith, Fidelity and Invesco as well as specialist boutiques including Ruffer, Fulcrum and Somerset. Underlying funds have exposure to a great many shares, bonds and other assets, Therefore, a single investment into one of the Redlands Portfolios gives a spread across a myriad of different holdings, countries and investment styles.
