Value Assessment Report
This new report has been produced in response to the Financial Conduct Authority’s Asset Management Market Study: an initiative that aims to increase transparency, competition, and value across the asset management industry.
2019 Value Assessment Report
The report covers our full UK fund range and seeks to provide an in-depth assessment of the value provided by each of the funds and share classes in our range, according to seven criteria set by our regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). We hope the report will help customers better understand and assess the value our funds offer, enabling you to make better informed investment decisions with greater confidence. Our brand promise is “Your success. Our priority” – these four words are at the heart of all we do.
We believe we have set a rigorous standard in assessing our funds and are pleased this Value Assessment Report concludes that, overall, our funds provide good value. It also, however, highlights areas where we can do better, and we have identified remedies and are taking action to improve value for customers going forward.
As this is our first annual Value Assessment Report we welcome your feedback. Please send any feedback or suggestions to: [email protected]
Although this Value Assessment Report is based on data to 31 December 2019, it would be remiss of us not to mention the extraordinary events that have unfolded in recent weeks with the COVID-19/Corona Virus pandemic. We remain open for business and fully focused on meeting our responsibility to effectively serve you, with as little disruption as possible and we continue to manage funds and portfolios across asset classes, with full confidence. Please visit our Insights hub for our latest market updates and information on how we are responding to the evolving COVID-19 situation.
