How to compare single-sector 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

Questions people ask

What are single-sector funds?

Funds focused on one industry — banks, energy, defence, mining and so on.

How many single-sector funds does Fundology track?

Fundology holds a recorded closing price for 167 UK-listed single-sector funds open to UK investors. The list changes as funds launch and close.

How much do single-sector funds cost?

The typical (median) ongoing charge among the single-sector funds Fundology tracks is 0.30% a year, about £30 a year on every £10,000. The lowest is 0.12%. 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 single-sector 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.

Funds that focus on one idea or industry rather than a whole market.
