What are the MetLife Managed Portfolios?
At MetLife we offer you a range of Managed Portfolios that we have carefully selected to meet five distinct risk/reward profiles; Defensive, Conservative, Cautious, Balanced and Aggressive.
We work closely with Morningstar Associates to select funds and fund managers to construct the MetLife Managed Portfolios, diversified by asset class, geography, currency, style, market capitalisation, sector stock holdings and manager. Each Managed Portfolio is designed for a specific type of investor, with particular performance expectations, investment timeframe and risk profile.
The Managed Portfolios are closely monitored and reviewed regularly to ensure they remain true to their original allocations and associated risk/return objectives.
What is the Secure Capital Option?
The MetLife Investment Bond also includes the Secure Capital Option that allows your clients to safeguard their initial investment for a ten year period, safe in the knowledge that the original investment is guaranteed regardless of market performance.
The Secure Capital Option is selected simply by investing some or all of the assets of your client's MetLife Investment Bond into one or more of the four Secure Capital Portfolios which are based on the Managed Portfolios. These include Defensive, Conservative, Cautious and Balanced Secure Capital Portfolios.
Return of the Secure Capital Value
On the 10th anniversary of your client's investment in the Secure Capital Portfolio, the value of their investment in the Secure Capital Portfolio will be switched into a cash fund or such other money market fund as is available at the time. If the value of the investment in the Secure Capital Portfolio is less than the Secure Capital Value, then the amount switched into the cash fund will be enhanced by MetLife to take it up to the Secure Capital Value
