Fund focus
More than 60 providers. More than 2500 choices.
Choose from actively and passively-managed funds.
Depending on the fund provider, you'll find growth, income, regional, sector-focused, ethical and multi-manager funds, whilst benefiting from discounts on initial charges.
Unit trusts, like shares, are subject to a spread between the bid and offer prices, whereas OEICs are single-priced. Funds are dealt on a forward pricing basis, so the prices at which orders will be executed cannot be known in advance. They are also subject to initial and annual management charges and in certain circumstances may be subject to a dilution levy. You should always read a fund's Simplified Prospectus before investing. These are available through fund selector below.

Fund Dealing Times
Fund orders must be received by 11am to be dealt on the same business day with the following exceptions:
- McHattie - Orders must be received by 10am on the day of dealing to be executed at the 11am valuation point.
- Black Rock Absolute Alpha - Dealing in this fund takes place twice a month: the 15th of the month (or the previous business day if the 15th falls on a weekend or a public holiday) and the last business day of the month. The cut off point is therefore 11am the previous business day.
- Scottish Widows Investment Partnership - Valuation points of 8am, 12pm and 2pm are applied and are specific to each fund. Fund orders must be received by 11am. Funds with 12pm and 2pm valuation points will be dealt on the same business day if the order is received by the 11am cut off point. However, to deal in a fund with an 8am valuation point, you must always place your order by 3pm on the previous business day; if your order is placed after 3pm then it will be dealt two business days later.
Please remember: The value of investments may fall as well as rise and you may get back less than you originally invested. Limited liability instruments mean that you cannot lose more than you have invested. The risks associated with different instruments will vary: you should choose investments appropriate to your needs and consider your overall mix of different investment types.
