Horizon by Embark attains 5 Crowns across the board for its multi-asset funds

Horizon by Embark today announces that all five of its multi-asset funds have been awarded a five-Crown rating, the highest rating possible, by FE fundinfo’s Crown Fund Ratings.

The Crown Fund Rating is based on a fund’s historical performance relative to an appropriate benchmark, and assesses three key aspects - alpha, volatility and consistent performance - to dictate the one-to-five Crown score. The ratings are designed to help investors distinguish funds that have superior performance in terms of allocation, consistency and risk control.

Horizon’s five risk-profiled funds are designed to optimise returns for a given level of risk. They have a unique investment process, benefitting from a robust three layers of management. The strategic asset allocation is carried out by EValue, using their stochastic asset model. Columbia Threadneedle’s multi-asset team conducts the tactical allocation and active asset management, and the Horizon team provides a final layer of risk management oversight.

These FE fundinfo Crown Ratings are the latest addition to a strong record of industry recognition, with all five Horizon Funds having a Defaqto 5 Diamond Risk Targeted Fund Family Rating.

Thomas Rostron, CEO, Horizon by Embark, commented:

“The award of five Crowns for all our multi-asset funds is great recognition of the benefits our active, adaptable risk-rated solutions have brought to our investors.”
