Who we are
About Fundology
Fundology is a free information site about UK funds, ETFs, ISAs and pensions. It shows what a fund costs in pounds, how it has done before and after inflation, and what it holds, with the date beside every figure. It does not sell investments and it does not give advice.
Who runs it
Fundology is an independent project run by a small team. It is not owned by a fund manager, a platform or a bank, and no fund can pay to be listed, placed in a category or shown first. Questions go to a real inbox and a person answers them.
Information, not advice
We show information. We are not financial advisers, not authorised by the FCA, and never recommend specific investments. Nothing here takes anyone’s circumstances into account. Lists open in a neutral order, such as name, size or charge; none is a ranking of which fund is better.
Every page that shows past returns carries the risk warning: Capital at risk. Past performance is not a guide to future returns. The value of investments can fall as well as rise. For free, impartial guidance, MoneyHelper (backed by the government) can help; for a personal recommendation, speak to a financial adviser authorised by the FCA.
How it is paid for
Fundology is free, and there is nothing to buy. Some fund pages link to UK platforms. We have no referral agreements with them today and are not paid for those links; if a platform ever pays us a referral fee, the links will say so. We take no payments from fund managers, and no fee would change a figure, a category or the order of a list.
A free account adds a watchlist and your own records. A Pro level exists and is currently by invitation; it is not sold. What each includes is on the pricing page.
Corrections
If a figure does not match its written method, that is our mistake. How every figure is calculated is in the methodology. Tell us the fund, the figure and what you expected; we check it, correct it, and say so rather than quietly changing it. Where a figure cannot be checked, it is left out rather than guessed, and a figure that looks implausible is held back until it has been reviewed.
To report one, email [email protected]; including the fund’s ISIN helps. Every figure on a fund page carries its date, so a stale figure can be told apart from a wrong one. The same applies to the guides and the glossary: an error in a rule or a figure there is corrected, and the page’s checked date shows when it was last reviewed. More on getting help.
