Introduction

Multi-asset products have become very popular in Asia, particularly those that provide income to investors, according to Luke Ng, Hong Kong-based vice president at FE Advisory.

During market volatility, products that are diversified with multiple asset classes are expected to give investors a smoother ride than equity markets, while still delivering on the income target, Ng added.

Multi-asset funds were among the most searched-for products by Asia’s private banks and wealth managers last month, according to data provided by Fund Info.

In Hong Kong, multi-asset has become the most successful fund category, accounting for 36% of gross sales in 2018, according to HKIFA data.

Against this backdrop, FE’s Ng compares two global multi-asset funds: the Investec Global Multi Asset Income Fund and the JP Morgan Multi Income Fund.
