Horizon Ready-made Portfolios

Investors keen to invest in line with their environmental and/or social values could find that a Horizon Ready-made Portfolio may suit their long-term goals. Both our Horizon Cautious and Horizon Adventurous portfolios are built and managed by our experienced investment team.

The value of your investments and the income from them may go down as well as up, and you could get back less than you invested.

Change of fund names (as of 14 April 2025)

On 14 April 2025, we changed the name of our Sustainable Ready-made Portfolios to ‘Horizon Ready-made Portfolios’. The name change was necessary to ensure compliance with regulatory fund naming guidelines, while keeping the existing investment strategy.

Sustainability-related portfolios

Our Horizon range appeals to investors who wish to invest in line with their portfolios' values and look for sustainability-related investment opportunities in assets which promote environmental and/or social characteristics.

It is good to remember the value of investments can go down as well as up and you could get back less than you invested.
