Best performing ready-made solutions of April – June 2025

Ready-made solutions recorded a strong Q2, despite market volatility surrounding Trump’s tariffs having a significant impact on the global economy. Markets started the quarter on a negative note as trade tensions escalated, before a sharp recovery as the US president softened his stance, which then kicked into an unexpected level of stock market growth towards the end of the quarter.

All the ready-made solutions we track posted positive returns for the period April–June, while normal service resumed with equities once again outperforming bonds (unlike in Q1). This led to stronger performance in the higher risk category, due to their increased stock exposure. The average return for the quarter was 4.7% amongst these portfolios, dropping to 3.4% for medium risk options, and 2.1% for low risk solutions.

To highlight the contrasting fortunes between this quarter and the previous one, every ready-made solution in this content series except one had a greater return in Q2 than the single top-performing ready-made solution in Q1.
