What is the risk and expected return?
Risk and return come hand-in-hand. The more return you target, the more risk you must take.
Performance is expected to be less than stock markets, but also more stable. In an extreme scenario stock markets could lose 20% or more, whilst Medium risk portfolios are expected to lose closer to 10% to 15%.
Performance of High risk portfolios is expected to be similar to stock market performance. However, in an extreme scenario stock markets could lose 20% or more and is therefore considered high risk investing.
Frequently asked questions
If you haven’t already done so, you’ll need to open a Saxo account and add the amount you intend to invest, subject to the minimum amount for each portfolio. Then follow these steps:
- Open the SaxoTraderGO platform and click the ‘SaxoSelect’ tab
- Click the ‘Invest’ button, next to your chosen portfolio
- If this is your first time with SaxoSelect, you’ll need to complete a set of suitability questions specifically for managed portfolios (this is different to an appropriateness test, which relates to self-directed investing)
- Open the trade ticket and enter the amount you’d like to invest
No, you don’t. Once you’ve invested in a managed portfolio, we will automatically create a sub-account dedicated to that portfolio under your existing Saxo account.
There is no minimum investment period and you can exit at any time for no additional cost. However, it’s important to remember that our managed portfolios are designed for long-term investing and we’d only recommend them if you intend to invest for several years.
Compared to traditional wealth managers we offer a compelling and cost effective way to have your money managed, with some of our portfolio less than half of the cost of an expensive wealth service.
Our fees depend on the managed portfolio you choose to invest in. For more information, please visit the individual portfolio webpages. To see how our annual service fee is calculated, here
As with all investing, there is a relationship between the amount of risk you take and the level of returns you could receive (both positively and negatively). The risk profiles of managed portfolios indicate the potential severity of a loss (of value) during a negative period. As a reference, investing into stocks is considered high risk and during a bad period the stock market could lose around 20%, based on historic events.
Low risk portfolios are expected to experience much less fluctuation (of value) than stock markets;
Medium risk portfolios are expected to experience notably lower fluctuation (of value) than stock markets;
High risk portfolios are expected to experience similar fluctuation (of value) to stock markets;
Very high risk portfolios are expected to experience price fluctuation above stock markets
