Funds are more consistent with the modern approach to financial planning and investment advice. There is a long list of practical benefits;

• Daily liquidity
• Low fees and charges (see below)
• Reduced issuer exposure
• Reduce time and effort identifying the best product
• Reduced advice risk
• No need to report investment to PI
• UCITS funds are outside FCA 10%/25% exposure guidance
• Available on all wraps,
• Eligible for ISA, Pension and Offshore Bonds
• Can be used in advised and managed portfolios
• Consistent returns across all investors
• Gains subject to capital gains tax
• Immediate investment, no need to wait for the end of the offer period.
• Offer diversified exposure to structured products and so mitigate the risks associated with holding individual products.

 

REALISED PERFORMANCE

Perhaps the main benefit of funds is that the realised return of funds like ours demonstrate the long term returns that structured products offer. Individual structured products have delivered good returns in the past, but this has been difficult for investors to see. The attractive risk/reward that this asset class offers is now much more visible.
