Global Index Funds

Hi, I'm Marie MacDonald with Standard Life.
Welcome to an introduction to our global index funds.
These are a range of five ready made multi asset funds that offer a diversified portfolio of investments made of
different combinations of company shares and bonds.

By offering a choice of five funds, you can choose a fund that aims to align with your risk tolerance and investment goals.
Imagine having access to thousands of global shares and bonds,
diversified across all major regions, countries and industries, all within
a single investment fund.
Each global index fund is managed to maintain a fixed
asset mix between company shares and bonds.
This mix between shares and bonds is regularly rebalanced within
each fund to ensure a consistent mix of investments into
the future.
These funds are designed to be accessible with an annual
management charge of less than 1%.
The exact cost can be discussed with your financial advisor.
Now let's look at the Global Index 60 in more
detail.
The fund typically invests in over 17,000 individual securities.
That's real diversification in a single fund.
Approximately 60% of the fund invests in a portfolio of
company shares across developed and emerging markets.
The remaining 40% is carefully invested in the spread of
global government and corporate bonds.
The Global Index Fund 60 is continuously rebalanced, ensuring a
consistent 60% company shares, 40% bonds ratio.
Our global index funds truly are globally diversified, affordable funds
and you have the added confidence that the underlying funds
managed by Vanguard have consistently delivered under objectives of delivering
long term investment returns in line with investment markets.
