This approach gives investors access to a combination of individually selected investment managers providing diversity across asset classes, within asset classes and across investment styles. The aim is to provide greater consistency of performance in variable market conditions compared to a single manager and significantly reduce risk without compromising the overall return. MLC is the third largest multi-manager in the world, with 8% of the world market share (Cerulli Associates - Cerulli Quantitative Update: Global Multi-manager Products 2008).

MLC holds the number one position for personal insurance annual inforce premiums with 14.1% market share (source: DEXX&R Life Analysis as at June 2009) and is the second largest provider of superannuation in Australia with 16.4% market share (source: Plan for Life Quarterly Data System as at June 2009).
