Expert Views:
The UK hybrid funds sector is moving from a set-it-and-forget-it product to a highly strategic means of preserving wealth. The Trillion Dollar Switch will be towards cheaper passive index funds, rather than expensive active equity managers, for rule-based multi-asset investments that can handle geopolitical shocks. Looking forward to 2026, the key to success for fund managers will be adding private market spices to the hybrid funds that trade on a daily basis. With interest rates starting to stabilise, the old-fashioned 60/40 portfolio is not only surviving but thriving with a digital twist.
