Where providing stability and consistency is at the heart of what we do
We aim to offer institutional investors a high degree of capital security, liquidity and yield via our range of cash management and short duration solutions.
These allow institutional investors to tailor their portfolio based on liquidity needs, risk appetite and investment time horizons.
Our fund managers draw upon longstanding expertise in sterling bond and money markets, supported by our international corporate credit research team, all benefitting from the strength of our parent group, Great-West Lifeco.
The value of investments may fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the amount invested.
