Prices & performance tables
Link to prices & performance tables
The prices & performance tables provide unrestricted coverage of all UK Unit Trusts and OEICs (Open Ended Investment Companies).
The tables can be filtered into various TrustNet region, sector or region and sector combinations, enabling you to view any fund against its peer group. i.e. a particular fund may have a regional classification of Far East excluding Japan and a sector classification of Equity Growth. This fund can then be seen in at least four different prices & performance tables: (1) all Far East excluding Japan funds, (2) all Equity Growth funds, (3) all Far East excluding Japan funds / Equity Growth funds, or (4) all funds on the system.
Screening Options
The drop down menus at the top right of the page enable you to screen the funds you are interested in viewing. You have the option of sorting by region, sector, unit type (Income or Accumulation) and fund type (Unit Trust or OEIC). Choose from the options available and then click the 'Select' button.
It is worth noting that 'Default units' under unit type lists only the Income units of funds with more than one unit type and Accumulation units for funds that do not have Income units.
IMA Categories
The region and sector sorting options default to TrustNet's own categories. You can sort the data using IMA sectors by clicking on the link 'IMA Categories' located at the top of the page.
Customise Function
This enables you to modify your view of the tables. By clicking on the Customise button you can access the pop-up filter that allows you to add to and/or remove the data columns displayed. The data items already ticked on the pop-up filter reflect the current view. You can return to the TrustNet default view at any time by choosing the 'Default' button. To remove or add an item, simply click into the box next to the data description and select 'Go'. The Go button will enable you to view your data selection and return to the modified view as you move about the site. The prices and performance view is reset to the TrustNet default option when you leave the site.
To remove all data items click 'Select none'. Fund Name cannot be removed from the list. The Customise list includes data that was previously shown on fund profile pages only.
Column Headings
You can further edit your alphabetical view of the prices & performance pages by clicking on various column headings. The tables can be sorted by fund name, group name, yield or 1, 3 or 5 year performance. The way in which the data is sorted is always indicated in red above the tables.
Rank
The ranking column is shown to provide you with a quick reference to where you are within any given prices & performance table and how a fund ranks within the universe shown i.e. a particular fund might be 17th out of 35 funds (the total number of funds is listed at the top of the table) on a 1 year price performance sorting. This number is also particularly useful in the case of long tables where only some entries can be seen on the screen at any one time or where the table is long enough to be split across more than one page.
Chart Icon
This icon
acts as a link to a standard performance chart for subscribing funds. Non-subscribing funds will link into a feedback form.
Fund Name
This is a shortened name for the fund and acts as a link to a detailed fund profile page for subscribing funds. Non-subscribing funds will link into a feedback form.
Next to the fund name is the Unit Type. (INC) is the Income unit or share of a fund and (ACC) Accumulation. You may also find that some OEICs have for example, 'CLS A' in their fund name. OEICs can offer different share classes for the same fund, which allows private investors to invest in the same fund as large organisations. 'CLS A' or 'A' generally indicates the retail share (for private investors), although there are variations on this.
Group Name
This is a shortened name for the management group of the listed fund and acts as a link to a management group page for subscribing funds. Non-subscribing groups will link into a feedback form. Tip: The full name of the management group can be viewed if your cursor is held over the shortened name.
Prices
All prices given are the previous working day's closing prices but depend on the fund type. For Unit Trusts bid (selling) and offer (buying) prices are shown. OEICs only have a single price. Prices are updated daily (usually by around 9:00 a.m. in the UK).
All prices are in Pence Sterling unless otherwise stated in brackets. Please see TrustNet's Exchange Rates section for help with currency codes.
Yield
Yield is an indication of the amount of income generated by a fund's investments in relation to the price. All yield figures shown are gross.
% Performance
The performance of the fund's price over the given time period, calculated on a bid price to bid price basis (mid to mid for OEICs) with net income (dividends) reinvested - total return. This shows a theoretical growth in value of a unit holding over a specified period, assuming that distributions (dividends net of the standard rate of tax) are re-invested to purchase additional units of a fund at the closing bid price applicable on the ex-distribution date. Where the distribution is not known on the ex-distribution date the performance of the fund will continue to be calculated daily and will be recalculated back to the ex-distribution date as soon as details are known. The calculation excludes re-investment charges.
Performance Averages
Performance averages for 1, 3 and 5 years can be found below the prices & performance tables. Averages can also be seen for sector and region selections.
