How to compare investment trusts
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 investment trusts: A trust’s share price can sit above (a premium) or below (a discount) the value of what it owns, and trusts can borrow to invest.

Companies on the stock exchange that invest in other assets. Their share price can be above or below the value of what they own.
How many investment trusts does Fundology track?
Fundology holds a recorded closing price for 217 UK-listed investment trusts open to UK investors. The list changes as funds launch and close.
What is worth checking when comparing investment trusts?
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 name, A to Z, 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.
