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…
The fund's objective is to seek long term capital growth, principally through investment in UK companies. This is not a pure recovery mandate - the core strategy is to have core holdings of companies that can grow their earnings reliably and are priced cheaply. This is back up by a number of secondary strategies, such as companies trading at a discount to net asset value. The fund typically has a bias to smaller companies.

Mark Slater
Slater co-founded Slater Investments, a specialist UK equity fund manager, in 1994 and is Chairman as well as Chief Investment Officer. A Cambridge University History graduate, he is the son of Jim Slater, the investment guru who popularised the PEG (price-to-earnings growth factor) as an investment tool. Slater began his career as a financial journalist, first managing money for Old Mutual in 1995. The Old Mutual Slater Growth fund he was running was bought by Johnson Fry in 1996 and then in turn by Leggmason. During his career, he has served on the boards of four public companies in which he has been a substantial shareholder.

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.
