Flexible multi-asset investing with Allianz Dynamic Multi Asset Strategy SRI funds
Flexibility and dynamism are key principles in the management of all Allianz Dynamic Multi Asset Strategy SRI (DMAS SRI) funds, and the objective is to make the most of market development and trends. Our main mission is to reduce losses in the face of potential negative market-based events with risk and stability management being deeply embedded in the investment process.
The strategy aims to combine value-preserving and yield-generating sustainable core investments as well as high-opportunity satellite investments to provide investors with a range of different return opportunities across different asset classes.
Market trends
What opportunities do multi-asset strategies offer in today’s market environment?
In today’s macroeconomic situation, characterised by inflation, interest rate changes and uncertainties, but also technological progress, multi asset strategies can play a valuable role. They offer the opportunity to diversify across different asset classes, thereby spreading risks and mitigating potential negative effects.
They also allow flexibility to adapt to ever-changing market conditions, which can contribute to improved portfolio stability. By investing in different geographical regions and sectors, they can also capitalise on growth opportunities while hedging the portfolio against various risks.
Different asset classes have differed in trends, whether it’s in direction, strength, or length.

Why invest in DMAS SRI?
The funds’ objective is to achieve long-term capital growth by investing in a broad range of asset classes, with a focus on global stocks and bonds, in order to achieve medium to long term performance comparable to a defensive/balanced/growth -oriented portfolio, within a range of volatility in accordance with the Sustainable and Responsible Investment (SRI) strategy, for the relevant assets.
However, each fund commences from a different level of volatility ranges (fluctuations of prices), and has a different level of strategic asset allocation (a proportion between fixed and variable income), and has different investment limits in equities.
The fundamental difference between the funds is mid to long term volatility range, the risk budget with which each of them is managed, typically resulting in a conservative, moderate and dynamic fund. The funds offer additional opportunities, such as alternative investments, commodities, emerging markets, high-yield investments, and more.
These vary depending on the individual fund profile and the relative attractiveness of classes according to our investment process with quantitative and fundamental assessments.

This is a marketing communication. Please refer to the prospectuses of the Funds and to the Key Information Documents. Documents before making any final investment decisions.

Investing involves risk. The value of an investment and the income from it may fall as well as rise and investors might not get back the full amount invested. Investing in fixed income instruments may expose investors to various risks, including but not limited to creditworthiness, interest rate, liquidity and restricted flexibility risks. Changes to the economic environment and market conditions may affect these risks, resulting in an adverse effect to the value of the investment. During periods of rising nominal interest rates, the values of fixed income instruments (including positions with respect to short-term fixed income instruments) are generally expected to decline. Conversely, during periods of declining interest rates, the values of these instruments are generally expected to rise. Liquidity risk may possibly delay or prevent account withdrawals or redemptions. The volatility of fund unit/share prices may be increased or even strongly increased. Past performance does not predict future returns. If the currency in which the past performance is displayed differs from the currency of the country in which the investor resides, then the investor should be aware that due to the exchange rate fluctuations the performance shown may be higher or lower if converted into the investor’s local currency.
