Introduction

The currently very high levels of market uncertainty mean investors are constructing multi-asset portfolios with a set of challenges as stark as any they will have faced in many years.

Questions can legitimately be asked about the role of bonds in portfolios, and around the effectiveness of the traditional correlations between asset classes that underpin portfolios. 

At the same time, client preferences are changing in terms of how they want to invest for income, and in terms of how they think about sustainability issues in their portfolio.

This guide, which comes which 60 minutes of CPD, and is sponsored by Columbia Threadneedle, will examine all of those issues.
