MY MAP

The MyMap investment journey: do more with your money

Capital at risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and are not guaranteed. Investors may not get back the amount originally invested.

MyMap. There’s do, and there’s do more.

We all deserve the ability to meet today's expenses while being prepared for all of life's moments in between. 

That's why we built MyMap – a simple range of funds designed to help people invest to build savings that serve them throughout their lives.

What is MyMap?

MyMap is a family of multi-asset funds that make investing easier while making your money work harder for you.

In today’s economic environment, it’s unlikely that savings alone will be sufficient to support your financial goals. Investing has the potential to protect your wealth and help it grow over time.
Beat back inflation
When inflation is high, that can mean your money may not go as far. Fortunately, there are multiple investments that can help beat inflation.
Save more for retirement
As the average life expectancy continues to rise – increasing the risk of outliving your savings. You plant the seed today and for the future.
Invest for income
Investing has the potential to generate inflation-beating returns. This not only protects your wealth from erosion, but also may help it grow over time.

How it works

MyMap funds invest in a variety of assets like equities (shares), bonds, and alternatives. They provide more diversification than investing in a single asset class, which means all your eggs aren’t in one basket.

The MyMap fund range is cost-effective

Under the hood of each MyMap fund is a collection of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and index funds. These are investments that aim to track the performance of a specific index. An index represents the total return of a particular group of securities – often stocks or bonds. All MyMap funds charge a low-cost 0.17% fee except for the MyMap 4 Select Income, which charges, 0.28%.

 

If you consider two funds that differ only by their fee. The MyMap fund that charges 0.17% fee grew to over £353,000 which is approximately £34,000 more than the average investment fund that charges 0.65%.

The power of investing

Investing has the potential to generate returns – beating inflation. This not only protects your wealth from erosion, but also may help it grow over time. 

 

This chart compares the long-term growth of £10,000 between a multi-asset investment portfolio and a typical UK savings account. Both results are based on real historical returns.

 

The investment portfolio has grown at a higher rate than inflation and is now worth £35,855, whilst money parked in a savings account has barely kept up with inflation over a 24 year period.
