Why choose Standard Life Investments?

Diversification

Bonds are lowly correlated with equities and therefore provide investors with the opportunity for increased diversification and reduced investment risk within a balanced portfolio.

Diversity within bonds

Fixed income is a broad asset class that comprises a wide range of vehicles: government bonds, investment grade corporates, high-yield, emerging market debt, municipal bonds, inflation-linked bonds and so on. Different factors influence the performance of each bond type, providing diversification within fixed income as a whole.
