You have the objective, we have the solution. Built on iconic indices including the 500™ and iBoxx, our sophisticated, off-the-shelf multi-asset strategies, including new intraday volatility management solutions, are designed to balance risk and return through the convenience of a single index.


Why Multi-Asset?

Our multi-asset indices are designed to track strategies that address specific investor goals including:

Managing Volatility
Risk control overlays allow indices to dynamically rebalance to maintain a target volatility level using cash, Treasuries, or synthetic put positions.
Absolute Return
Diversification and precise balancing among multiple asset classes can align with strategies seeking to achieve positive returns across market environments.
Inflation Hedging
The performance of commodities and TIPS may correlate with increases in inflation, making them potential inflation hedges when added to equities or bonds.
Retirement
Total-portfolio solutions rebalance automatically based on expected retirement date.
Sustainability Outcomes
It’s now possible to express ESG viewpoints across equities, bonds, and more.

We understand that investors often aren’t choosing between different asset classes—they’re looking to combine them efficiently to meet their objectives.

Income
Balancing equities with bonds may result in added income potential.
