The hunt for income has been well-documented, as has the growth and use of multi-asset portfolios.

How should such portfolios be created to help investors both accumulate and decumulate, without falling foul of correlation or sequencing risks?

This guide, which qualifies for an indicative 60 minutes' worth of CPD, will cover the importance of diversification, getting the risk strategy right, the types of income strategy within a portfolio and how to create a sustainable multi-asset fund for accumulation and decumulation.
