Price (Acc)
These are the shares in the fund that don’t pay out an income to clients. Any dividends – the money a company can pay out to its investors – are reinvested into companies in the fund. Despite no income, the shares should be worth more over time. Good incentive, eh?

Annual management charge

Yield
How much the fund is currently paying out in income to investors. It’s NOT to be confused with the overall growth of a fund – a very different thing indeed. It’s also NOT a guarantee of future pay-outs, just a snapshot. This is more what it’s not than what it is…

Investment process
The team-based approach follows the broader macroeconomic themes and is underpinned by extensive proprietary research. While the house themes define the areas of stock selection, sector weights result from active stock picking. The strong team of 20 industry analysts produce the recommended stock list. Although the fund manager is ultimately responsible for investment decisions, consensus must be reached within the team for a stock to be included in the portfolio. Team debate is encouraged, and many contrarian ideas are generated. Typically, stocks are initially purchased at 1% weighting which is then developed up or down. A risk/reward profile of each individual holding is carefully analysed. Analysts are rewarded based on performance of their recommendations on 3-5 years basis. The fund is aimed to be reasonably concentrated.

About the MRI
Our unique indicator: the Bestinvest Manager Record Index (MRI) measures the likelihood that the fund manager is adding value through their decisions. It is based on their performance record over the course of their career, adjusted for the amount of risk taken. MRI is an important contributor to our fund rating system but it is also vital to take account of qualitative factors. It is also very important to select funds to form a cohesive portfolio with an appropriate overall risk level.
