MyMap celebrates turning 5. What can a 5-year-old teach us about investing? Keep it simple.
Capital at risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and are not guaranteed. Investors may not get back the amount originally invested.

Benefit from the simplicity of MyMap
MyMap offers ready-made, risk managed and diversified funds. So the only thing you need to do is choose the risk profile that fits your clients’ comfort level.
Compare asset allocation in MyMap funds
Multi-asset funds can invest in a variety of assets like equities, bonds, and alternatives. They provide more diversification than investing in a single asset and are designed with a specific risk level in mind.
Risk: Diversification and asset allocation may not fully protect you from market risk.

How MyMap makes investing more cost-effective
Under the hood of each MyMap fund is a collection of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and index funds. These are investments that aim to track the performance of a specific index. An index represents the total return of a particular group of securities – often stocks or bonds. All MyMap funds charge a low-cost 0.17% fee except for the MyMap 4 Select Income, which charges 0.28%.1
If you consider two funds that differ only by their fee, you’ll see the MyMap fund that charges a 0.17% fee grew to over £353,000, which is approximately £34,000 more than the average investment fund that charges 0.65%.1

Risk and ratings of MyMap funds
We aim to capture investment potential while managing the costs and risks associated with investing. Each MyMap fund has a predefined risk profile, which is vital to achieving the right balance of risk and return potential. Our range is also mapped against risk rating agencies, helping you compare each fund’s risk against client expectations.

A simple way to match your clients'
investment and sustainability goals
The transition to a low-carbon economy is driving material investment risks and opportunities.
The MyMap range includes three ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) focused funds for clients asking how to combine their sustainability considerations and investment goals: MyMap 3 Select ESG, MyMap 5 Select ESG, and MyMap 7 Select ESG.
All three funds aim to:
- Invest at least 80% of their corporate assets in sustainable strategies
- Invest at least 80% of their government bonds with sovereigns with improved ESG credentials6
Risk: This information should not be relied upon as investment advice, or a recommendation
regarding any products, strategies. The environmental, social and governance ("ESG”)
considerations discussed herein may affect an investment team’s decision to invest in certain
companies or industries from time to time. Results may differ from portfolios that do not apply
similar ESG considerations to their investment process.

6Sovereigns with improved ESG credentials are those who have an ESG rating of BB or higher (as defined by MSCI or another third party data vendor).
How we incorporate sustainability considerations
The MyMap Select ESG funds have a climate goal to reduce carbon emission intensity relative to an equivalent non-sustainable asset mix by at least 30%. We also target a reduction in carbon emission intensity over periods of five consecutive years on a rolling quarterly basis.
Carbon Emission Intensity*
* tons of CO2 per million $ of Enterprise Value including Cash
Risk: The strategies discussed are strictly for illustrative and educational purposes and are not a
recommendation, offer or solicitation to buy or sell any securities or to adopt any investment
strategy. There is no guarantee that any strategies discussed will be effective.
ESG screening risk: The benchmark index only excludes companies engaging in certain activities inconsistent with ESG criteria if such activities exceed the thresholds determined by the index provider. Investors should therefore make a personal ethical assessment of the benchmark index’s ESG screening prior to investing in the Fund. Such ESG screening may adversely affect the value of the Fund’s investments compared to a fund without such screening.
There is no guarantee that dividends will be paid.

Whatever your ‘My’ is, see how MyMap can help your clients do more
In today’s economic environment, it’s unlikely that savings alone will be sufficient to support your clients’ financial goals. Investing has the potential to protect your clients’ wealth and help it grow over time.
Investing outperforms savings over the long term
This chart compares long-term growth of £10,000 between a multi-asset investment portfolio7 and a typical UK savings account8, with results based on real historical returns.
Over a 24-year period, the investment portfolio has grown and is now worth £35,855, whilst money parked in a savings account has barely kept up with inflation.
Risk: Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current or future results and should not be the sole factor of consideration when selecting a product or strategy.
