AIMS For More
Last week, we launched the latest of our target-outcome funds, the Aviva Irl Multi Strategy (AIMS) Target Return Fund.
The Aviva Irl Multi Strategy Target Return Fund is an outcome-oriented fund aiming to deliver average annual returns 5% above the European Central Bank base rate (before charges) over a rolling 3-year period with a target of less than half the volatility of global equities over the same period as measured by MSCI ALL Country World Index Total Return.
The fund is available across Aviva’s pension and investment product range. You can now download the AIMS Financial Broker Guide and Sales Aid.

Investor behaviour & attitudes in 2014
|
New research from Aviva shows that the tide is turning in people’s attitude to the Irish economy, and also increased confidence in their ability to save for the future. The research, undertaken by RedC on behalf of Aviva used a quantitative approach to find out people’s attitudes to a range of issues concerning them – their attitude to risk, their financial and economic outlook, their past investment behaviour and their rationale in the investment process.
Some of the highlights of the research include:
- 78% of respondents believed that it’s important for an investment decision to be based on the advice of an independent qualified adviser
- 45% feel that investments are ‘really confusing’ – thus strengthening the need for independent financial advice
- 97% said the most important factor in choosing an investment would be its’ ability to 'beat the bank'
There is a lot more interesting information within the research. We produced an article in the last issue of PIBA 'The Broker' magazine, and if you missed it, you can read the full article here.

Market Review October 2014
|
- October was a weak month for U.S. markets, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average posting a small loss of 0.23 percent; the S&P 500 Index declining further, down 1.40 percent; and the Nasdaq dropping 1.90 percent. All three indices bounced around breakeven levels throughout most of the month before finally declining in the last week.
- International markets suffered much more than U.S. markets. The referendum in Scotland on independence from the U.K. rattled markets earlier in the month, while continuing poor news in the progress of a German court case that could declare intervention by the European Central Bank as illegal concerned them toward month-end. Finally, the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, as well as sanctions imposed on Russia, continued to do economic damage throughout the continent.
- Good news for the U.S. economy continued in September. Positive data points included rising auto sales and home prices, as well as a double-digit drop in job cuts and the nonmanufacturing business survey hitting a nine-year high.
