RL360 Model Portfolio Solutions funds
The world of investment choice and portfolio performance can be confusing, especially when you are at the beginning of your investment journey. Our Model Portfolio Solutions Funds could provide you with a ready-made solution to fit your risk profile.
Your fund choice matters
The funds available to your RL360 plan are provided by some of the world’s leading asset managers. The range has been designed to provide you with a wide choice of options covering a variety of risk profiles, asset classes, sectors and regions. Diversifying your plan across several different fund styles can be a wise move to help smooth the returns on your investments.
However, selecting a good combination from a range of funds can be tricky. You must consider a number of elements to ensure that your portfolio works for you.
Some things are just better together
We understand that picking a range of funds from scratch is not always easy. That's why RL360 has teamed up with BlackRock, one of the world's largest asset managers*, to offer you some alternative managed fund options - the RL360 Model Portfolio Solutions Funds (the “RL360 MPS Funds”).
Powered by asset allocation from BlackRock, the RL360 MPS Funds invest in a well-diversified mix of active and passive, ESG-integrated**, collective investment funds from the BlackRock stable and are expertly crafted to meet a range of objectives and risk tolerances, making it simple for you to pick a solution that aligns with your investment goals, all in a neatly wrapped package with an annual management charge of only 1%.
Exclusive product availability
Launched in March 2023, the RL360 MPS Funds are currently only available through one of the following RL360 unit-linked products:
- Regular Savings Plan
- Oracle
- LifePlan
- Quantum
- Paragon
Building on BlackRock's risk-modelling expertise
There are three RL360 MPS Funds available, each designed to target a volatility threshold and ensure that risk remains within the selected tolerance.
Utilising BlackRock’s extensive resources, risk-modelling and macro-economic forecasting skills, the asset allocation for each strategy is rebalanced quarterly by BlackRock (or more frequently depending on market conditions) - we then reflect those asset allocation changes within the RL360 MPS Funds. This means that you need only select the relevant RL360 MPS Fund and we will do the rest. This can take the stress out of selecting individual funds from our standard fund range and provides you with a diversified solution in a single investment option.
The RL360 MPS Funds to choose from
You can select from the following RL360 MPS Funds, all priced in US Dollar:

Behind the asset allocation
Each portfolio for the RL360 MPS Funds is constructed using around 15-20 BlackRock collective investment funds, including iShares index funds, covering a wide range of asset classes, sectors and regions, offering a well-diversified portfolio. The BlackRock asset allocation team aims to generate alpha in areas where it believes it can outperform the market, and uses iShares passive index funds where it seeks to simply gain sector exposure. The model portfolios are not tied to set percentages for equities, bonds and cash like many traditional multi-asset funds, driven by their volatility targets.
A ready-made, credible alternative for you with diversification taken care of. BlackRock will manage the asset allocation so you don't have to.
