The Global Diversified Markets Growth portfolio will continue to operate but will no longer be open to new investments, as of January 2023, as Save is introducing a new portfolio for the ‘Growth’ category that seeks to extract returns using a wider range of methods.
The trend-based asset allocation scheme used in the Global Diversified Markets portfolios is an effective, robust quantitative approach that successfully navigated 2022, with the ‘trend-following' technique gaining significant additional popularity recently on suggestions that its strong performance could be expected to continue.
