As you move through life, what you want from your investments can change.

Our four Lifestyle Portfolios are designed to meet your investment needs in different circumstances and at different stages of your life. With four very different portfolios to choose from you can adapt your investment strategy as your life and circumstances evolve.

Four Lifestyle Portfolios to choose from

Four Lifestyle Portfolios to choose from	Risk Level	Annual Management Charges	Next Steps
Income The income portfolio may suit people who want to generate an income from their savings while seeking to preserve their capital over the long term. Bonds make up a large proportion of the 'income' asset mix, while a smaller exposure to equities is retained to potentially conserve capital value.	Balanced There's a modest risk of fluctuation in the capital value and/or return from your portfolio and levels of income can not be guaranteed.	0.65% per annum of the value of the portfolio (subject always to a minimum charge of £500)	Find out more Request a call back
Shelter If your priority is to conserve your wealth rather than add to it, the 'Shelter' portfolio may be suitable for you. The portfolio offers a balanced approach without the need to draw a regular income from your portfolio. Bonds account for a good proportion of the mix, with equities providing some opportunity to participate in the wider markets.	Balanced There's a modest risk of fluctuation in both capital value and/or return from your portfolio.	1.25% per annum of the value of the portfolio (subject always to a minimum charge of £1,000)	Find out more Request a call back
Build Build may be ideal if you want to increase your wealth without being too adventurous. For 'Build' a significant proportion of both bonds and equities make up the asset mix, with the equity weighting being the higher of the two.	Progressive There's an increased risk of fluctuations in the capital value and return compared to the 'income' or 'shelter' portfolios. It may suit you if you invest on a regular basis.	1.25% per annum of the value of the portfolio (subject always to a minimum charge of £1,000)	Find out more Request a call back
Aspire The Aspire portfolio may be appropriate if you want to build your wealth over the long term. To achieve this, the largest proportion of the investment mix is made up of equity funds.	Adventurous In terms of risk, this portfolio may suit more adventurous investors. This means that there is a potential for greater, long-term growth but also a higher risk of capital losses.	1.25% per annum of the value of the portfolio (subject always to a minimum charge of £1,000)	Find out more Request a call back

Risk warnings

The value of investments, and the income from them, can go down as well as up and cannot be guaranteed. An investment in a currency other than the investor's own currency or in a fund that invests in securities denominated in currencies other than base currency will be subject to the movement of foreign exchange rates. Consequently, investors may receive an amount greater or less than their original investment. Past performance should not be seen as an indication of future performance.

The risk you will be exposed to is dependent on your risk profile e.g. 'Shelter' profile is designed to expose you to less risk compared to the 'Aspire' profile.

The asset classes and allocations shown are for illustration purposes only and may vary, particularly in times of volatile market conditions and if investment policy changes. Index tracker funds may not necessarily perform in exactly the same way as the index they're tracking due to the impact of charges and expenses. Selected funds can under-perform their reference markets.

Lloyds TSB International does not advise on any tax implications — you should seek your own tax advice from a qualified tax adviser. For further details on underlying investments and associated risks, please refer to Appendix A of the Terms and Conditions.

Home currency equity	10%	10%	30%	46.7%

The core investments within the portfolios are in index-tracking funds and these are supplemented by a smaller proportion of actively managed funds. Exchange Traded Funds are used to provide some of the index-tracking element. These are a more cost-efficient way of investing and can also be rapidly bought and sold, should the Investment Manager need to make a change to the portfolio. Absolute Return funds are also used and these seek to provide a positive return in all market conditions.
