Morningstar PIMFA Equity Risk Index Series

This series was launched on 1st November 2019 following the changing demands of the market and our members. It consists of five composite indices and includes weightings of equities, bonds, real estate and “alternative” investments based on the strategic asset allocations (SAA) of PIMFA member firms grouped by the percentage of equities held in the strategies.

The Morningstar PIMFA Equity Risk Index Series has five composite indices to reflect the differing aims of investors:

  • Equity Risk 1 Index (RBI 1) – Equity 10 – 25%
  • Equity Risk 2 Index (RBI 2) – Equity 26 – 46%
  • Equity Risk 3 Index (RBI 3) – Equity 47 – 66%
  • Equity Risk 4 Index (RBI 4) – Equity 67 – 85%
  • Equity Risk 5 Index (RBI 5) – Equity 86 – 100%

This Index Series can provide

  • Risk characteristics to align to client risk profiles more readily.
  • These represent the strategic asset allocations of PIMFA member firms to help firms/individuals understand long term strategy of the UK market.
  • Created on 1st November 2019 due to demand from PIMFA member firms who wished to see a new range of indices based on this new methodology.
