Investing with flexibility

Flexible Mandate

Dynamic, flexible management style
Mitigating downside risks
Core-satellite approach

A portfolio consisting of direct lines and funds where the Portfolio Managers have greater flexibility.

Mandate characteristics:

The Flexible Mandate is suitable for investors seeking to limit downside risks and to invest in a broadly diversified and actively managed portfolio. The distinguishing feature of this mandate is its flexibility and strong belief in the market. This implies an unrestricted policy to be able to continue to guarantee this flexibility under all market conditions, with the only restriction being that any over- or underweighting of shares may not conflict with the Bank's investment strategy.

Your Portfolio Manager

Your assets are managed by a team of Portfolio Managers. They constantly monitor macroeconomic developments and market conditions and adjust portfolios as necessary. If you have a question about the markets or would like to know how your investments are doing, your Portfolio Manager will be happy to make time for you. That way, you don't have to deal with your investments on a daily basis, but are always well-informed and in control.

More information and conditions

What the mandate comprises

The Flexible Mandate is based on the principle of diversification and can be composed of equity and bond funds, ETFs, stocks, bonds, alternative investments and cash. The management is active, flexible and in line with the bank's overall investment strategy.

The ranges for the various asset classes can be filled in more flexibly, especially in the reduction of risky assets. Nevertheless, the active position in equities (strong overweight or underweight) will never be in contradiction with the investment vision as defined by the bank's Global Investment Committee.

What is the investment approach?

The portfolios are actively managed according to the market conditions and in line with your risk profile.

Our Portfolio Managers ensure the optimal allocation of your portfolio. They construct the portfolios based on the investment strategy defined by the Global Investment Committee. This strategy defines the preference for asset classes, regions, sectors and themes.

Risks

You should only invest with money that you have over, in addition to your buffer for unforeseen expenses. Investing can be interesting, but it also involves risks. You can lose (part of) your investment. It is good to be aware of this. Only invest in investment products that you understand.

With Discretionary Portfolio Management, you do not make any investment choices yourself. Nevertheless, it is important that you are aware of the risks of investing.

If you start with Discretionary Portfolio Management, it is important to first determine your risk profile. You leave the buying and selling to our experts, who will act within your risk profile.

Risk profiles

ABN AMRO uses six risk profiles for Discretionary Portfolio Management: from low risk (very defensive) to very high risk (very aggressive). Each risk profile has its own recommended allocation for the assets invested across shares, bonds, alternative investments and cash.

Once you and your Private Banker have determined your risk profile, we can put together an appropriate investment portfolio. You will see immediately what this can mean for the return on your investments.

Sustainability profiles

ABN AMRO uses five sustainability profiles for Discretionary Portfolio Management and Advisory: from ‘Basic’ (minimum sustainability criteria ) to ‘Taxonomy-aligned’ (maximum sustainability criteria).

Each sustainability profile has its own way of implementing the sustainability criteria. Once you and your Private Banker have determined your sustainability preferences, we can match your sustainability profile with an appropriate asset strategy.
