The range consists of four UK-focused and three global funds, all of which are RDR-compliant Ucits products, available in euro, Swiss franc and sterling share classes.
The aim of the funds is to deliver long-term returns while investing in a broad range of asset classes including bonds, equities, commodities and property.
Higgins and his team will run the four UK-focused funds and Villamin and his team will take charge of the three global funds.
Gayle Schumacher, head of investment office at Coutts, said: “This range of funds plays a vital role in the evolution of our wealth management capabilities and provides a transparent, cost-effective, RDR-compliant investment solution.
Each of the funds is managed to a defined risk budget using Coutts’ 4×7 risk management process, which assigns all products one of four primary investment objectives (ranging from maintain capital to grow capital) and one of seven risk categories (ranging from minimal to speculative).
“The Coutts multi-asset funds allow us to best meet our clients’ needs in providing a simple way to achieve long-term returns through a tax efficient diversified portfolio with institutional buying power,” Schumacher added.
The funds will be sold under advice in the UK and for Coutts clients will have an AMC of 0.5%.
