Aviva Multi-Asset ESG Range

A simpler way to invest with responsibility built-in

If you value simplicity when you invest, we offer a range of ready-made, multi-asset funds through our Managed for You range.

This range of funds has built environmental, social, and governance, or ESG for short, considerations into how they are managed. This means your investment makes a positive impact on some of the most important issues facing us today, such as rising inequality and climate change.

Offering diversification

Each fund spreads your investment across a diverse range of asset classes and regions while aiming to achieve a certain investment objective and risk level.

Managed by our experts

Each fund is managed by the Multi-Asset team in Aviva Investors. This team manages over €84 billion on behalf of customers worldwide.1

Doing good

Each fund aims to deliver attractive returns through a strong focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. Each fund has been classified as a light green investment under European Sustainability Regulations2

Giving value

The funds are available at our standard annual management charge or lower.

Understanding Multi-Asset Funds

Multi-Asset Funds invest across a number of different asset types which may include equities, bonds, property, cash, and alternatives. This gives you a greater degree of diversification than investing in a single asset class. Diversifying across a broad range of asset classes, styles, sectors, and regions can help cushion against any shocks that come with investing in a single asset class. However, investors should remember that diversification cannot fully protect them from market risk.

Understanding ESG

ESG investing considers a company’s Environmental, Social, and Governance practices, alongside more traditional financial measures.

00:00:22 - Question
