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?

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…
This is a low-cost tracker fund that aims to provide the return - less a small fee - of UK government bonds - so-called 'gilts'. The index itself is the FTSE A British Government All Stocks index. The structure of the fund is very simple - it uses full, physical replication, meaning it holds the same debt instruments that are in the index in the same proportions as the index, and doesn't use derivatives or engage in any securities lending.

Investment process
The fund holds all the bonds in the FTSE A British Government All Stocks Total Return Index in proportion to the index. It is fully, physically replicating, there is no use of derivatives or securities lending. The portfolio manager does have the ability to participate in primary issue from the DMO which can allow a very limited amount of value-adding by getting access immediately before the bond is included in the index.
This is an attractively priced tracker fund, that gives ready access to UK government debt as an asset class. This asset class is typically sensitive to interest rate changes (whether perceived or actual). Historically, there has tended to be an inverse correlation between gilts and UK equities. This is about as plain vanilla as a tracker fund can get.

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.
