Threadneedle has launched a Dynamic Real Return fund for head of multi-asset Toby Nangle, aiming to deliver equity-like returns with no more than two-thirds of the volatility.

Multi-asset managers have been moving back into property for the first time since the financial crisis, as higher income levels from the sector attract yield-hungry investors.

Crispin Henderson, the former CEO of Threadneedle who stepped back from the role in March, is to retire from the industry at the end of the week.

The managers of the Threadneedle Absolute Alpha fund, Mark Westwood and Chris Kinder, discuss five positions capable of adding alpha over the long term, in an environment where valuations look stretched.

Threadneedle's head of UK smaller companies Dan Vaughan has taken an "extended sabbatical" from the group for the foreseeable future.
