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?

Initial chargeSome funds charge you when you first invest, which is aptly known as the initial charge. They’re usually between 3-5% but at Bestinvest, we usually don’t charge you a penny!

Annual management charge
This is how much the fund management company charges to run the fund. It’s like paying a babysitter, dog sitter or house sitter (that makes well-informed, heavily researched changes to improve your baby/dog/house when needed).

Ongoing charges
This stands for Ongoing Charges Figure. It’s the cost of running a fund and includes admin fees, manager fees, administration costs, etc.

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…
Fund of funds where the underlying portfolio consists of investment trusts and as such the fund is subject to double charging. As the trusts are generally UK listed there is natural bias towards UK and Europe within the underlying portfolio. The gearing of the underlying investment trusts results in higher volatility of this fund.

Investment process
The Fund looks for long term capital growth by investing primarily in LSE listed investment trusts and closed ended companies. The fund looks for anomalies and exploits opportunities within the sector by looking at discounts, management capabilities, corporate actions and capital structure. Initially, the fund's assets are allocated using a top down approach, although the main part of the portfolio is chosen using the Jupiter-style bottom up stock selection. The managers hold regular meetings with the underlying investment trusts and pay close attention to the style and investment approach of the fund managers as well as quality and robustness of the companies underlying each investment trust.

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.
