Pension reforms announced in the latest budget means pension holders will be able to withdraw as much money as they want after reaching 55, although it will be taxed as income.
The latest product from Threadneedle takes direction from pensioner needs post-budget, and combines the multi-asset and income strategies of the firm. It aims at offering investors asset growth taking a medium to long term approach.
The investment range of the fund will encompass equities, bonds, cash and property asset classes.
“Individuals and the industry are still coming to terms with the long-term implications of the Government’s pension reforms. This fund offers investors the opportunity to diversify their investment pot by delivering income and returns from an appropriately balanced range of assets,” Nangle said.
Having joined Threadneedle as head of multi-asset from Barings in 2012, Nangle has managed the $13m (£7.7m) Multi Asset Target Alpha Fund alongside deputy Matthew Cobon, since fund launch in 2012.
