The Royal London Governed Portfolios have been through an incredible journey since they launched in 2009. Our robust and challenging governance process, overseen by our Investment Advisory Committee, has played a key part in delivering a strong track record over the past 11 years, through periods of significant volatility. The next decade is going to be more challenging than ever – with an array of difficult dynamics spanning across the economic, investment and regulatory environments. Strong governance will continue to play a vital role in achieving strong outcomes, and delivering value for money, for our customers.

At Royal London we have more than 150 years of experience in helping clients provide for their future. Our mutuality is more than a status. It’s a state of mind. We are committed to delivering in the long-term best interests of clients. We strongly believe in the value that a robust and transparent governance process can add when it comes to helping clients meet their objectives. Our Independent Advisory Committee meets quarterly and discussions are deliberately challenging, and focused on taking a long-term view to ensure that investment decisions are based on sound fundamentals.
