Fintech innovator Timeline has launched its first multi-asset fund after receiving the green light from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The launch reflects Timeline’s ambition to deliver a fully integrated, cost-effective investment platform designed specifically for financial advisers.
The firm recently confirmed it had surpassed £10 billion in Assets Under Management, cementing its reputation as the fastest growing provider in the adviser sector over the past three years.
The Timeline Multi-Asset Fund will sit alongside the company’s existing services, which range from advanced financial planning tools and evidence-based model portfolios to its proprietary investment platform. It offers advisers more flexibility whilst upholding Timeline’s principles of disciplined, low-cost investing.
The fund will cover multiple risk profiles, offering allocations from 40% up to 100% equities, with an ongoing charges figure (OCF) of just 0.20%, keeping with Timeline’s focus on delivering value to clients.
“Many advisers we already work with have told us they would welcome a Timeline-branded fund, and we’ve involved them throughout the preparation phase,” said Timeline’s CEO and Founder Abraham Okusanya.
“Multi-asset and multi-manager funds are now the most used investment strategies for new client money and growing faster than any other category. Launching our own fund is a logical next step.”
Multi-asset strategies represent a £150 billion segment within UK advised platforms. Timeline, already managing over £10 billion in AUM, expects this fund to reinforce its ties with advisory partners while broadening its reach to new firms.
Northern Trust Asset Management (NTAM) has been appointed as sub-investment manager for the fund-of-funds structure, continuing its relationship with Timeline that began in 2021. Northern Trust will also provide custody, depositary and administration functions.
With more than US$18.1 trillion in assets under custody and administration, and US$1.7 trillion under management as of 30 June 2025, Northern Trust is a global leader in financial services and asset management.
“Our long-standing relationship with Northern Trust means we’re hitting the ground running,” added Okusanya. “We’re ready to move quickly and are already in conversation with over 70 advice firms who have expressed active interest.”
Michael Hunstad, President, Northern Trust Asset Management, commented: “We are excited to collaborate with Timeline on its first multi-asset fund to deliver a fully integrated solution, utilising the combined strength of our investment management and asset servicing expertise. As well as showcasing our indexing capabilities, this mandate highlights our clear commitment to further embedding NTAM in the UK market and its investment advisory and wealth space.”
