Types of managed funds
You can trade in different types of managed funds with Halifax Share Dealing. Here's our guide to these investments:
A cautious managed fund will actively minimise risk by balancing a mixture of fixed income investments and equities. Tending to mostly invest in large companies, cautious managed funds will also maintain a healthy presence in smaller companies with growth potential.
Balanced managed funds provide a blend of income, modest capital appreciation and risk management. They spread their risk by investing in a range of assets to provide both growth and income while managing any negative stock market changes.
In an actively managed fund, the fund manager will buy and sell holdings with the intention of maximising gains and minimising losses. Funds managers are given the flexibility to be able to react quickly to changing market conditions.
