How to compare corporate and other bond funds
What differs from one fund to the next. None of it says which fund to choose.
- What it follows
- The index a tracker copies, or the strategy a manager follows. Two funds on the same index hold much the same companies. Index funds
- Ongoing charge
- Taken from the fund’s value every year. 0.20% is about £20 a year on £10,000, before any platform fee. Ongoing charges figure
- Income
- Accumulating share classes reinvest income inside the fund; distributing ones pay it out as cash. Accumulating or distributing
- Currency
- Hedged share classes aim to take out currency moves against the pound; unhedged ones keep them. Currency hedging
- Returns after inflation
- Past returns with UK inflation (CPIH) taken out, dated and sourced. They say nothing certain about the future. How real returns are worked out
- Holdings overlap
- How much of two funds is the same companies at the same weights. A high figure means owning both is close to owning one. Compare two funds
Specific to corporate and other bond funds: Some bond funds hedge other currencies back to pounds and some do not; the fund name usually says “GBP Hedged”.

Questions people ask
What are corporate and other bond funds?
Loans to companies and other borrowers, which usually pay more interest than government bonds in exchange for more risk.
How many corporate and other bond funds does Fundology track?
Fundology holds a recorded closing price for 434 UK-listed corporate and other bond funds open to UK investors. The list changes as funds launch and close.
How much do corporate and other bond funds cost?
The typical (median) ongoing charge among the corporate and other bond funds Fundology tracks is 0.25% a year, about £25 a year on every £10,000. The lowest is 0.07%. The charge is taken from the fund’s value rather than billed, and a lower charge does not mean a higher return.
What is worth checking when comparing corporate and other bond funds?
The index or strategy each fund follows, its ongoing charge, whether it reinvests income or pays it out, currency hedging, its size, and how much its holdings overlap with funds already held.
How is this list ordered?
By fund size, largest first, unless another order is chosen. Size says how widely a fund is held, not how good it is, and no order on this page is a recommendation.
