Our view on this Fund

This fund invests in the 100 largest companies in the UK. While the FTSE 100 is a UK index, many of the companies earn money overseas. Investors are therefore indirectly investing in foreign economies as well as the UK. The fund is managed by Vanguard, a company with a long track record of managing index funds. It could be used to diversify a global portfolio, or one focused on smaller companies or other investments such as bonds. The fund doesn’t feature on our Wealth Shortlist as we have a UK tracker fund already on the list that we rate highly.

Our view on the sector

The UK stock market is home to lots of world-class companies. From international giants to a diverse array of smaller businesses. This provides a rich hunting ground for fund managers in this sector. They all try to grow investors' money over the long term, but each goes about it in a different way. Some focus on larger companies in the FTSE 100 index, others invest in medium-sized or smaller companies, and some have the flexibility to invest in any company, regardless of size. Some aim to match or deliver a return similar to the broader UK stock market. Others have the freedom to try and make as much money as possible for investors and take more risks. That could mean investing in only a small number of companies, for instance. A fund that invests in UK shares is normally the first port of call for UK-based investors. But with such a variety on offer, investors should make sure a fund is right for their circumstances before investing.

Performance Analysis

Since the fund launched in 2016, it’s tracked the FTSE 100 index closely. As you would expect from an index tracker fund, it’s fallen behind the benchmark over the long term because of the costs involved in running the fund. However, the tools used by the managers have helped to keep performance close to the index. Given Vanguard's size, experience and expertise running index tracker funds, we expect the fund to continue to track the index closely in the future, though there are no guarantees.

Investment Philosophy

Tracker funds are one of the simplest ways to invest. They aim to match the performance of an index, rather than beat it. They usually do this by investing in all the companies in the index. This means they don't need analysts to research individual companies, which keeps costs to a minimum. If the fund's costs are low, it's likely to track the index more closely.

Process and Portfolio Construction

The fund invests in every company, and in proportion with each company’s weight in the index. This is known as full replication and should help the fund track the index closely. Reducing costs is a key part of keeping the tracking difference between the fund and the benchmark to a minimum. Vanguard will lend some of the investments in the fund to other providers in exchange for a fee. This can be used to offset some of the costs of running the fund but adds risk. This fund invests around 20% in companies involved with the extraction of oil, gas and coal. This could leave it vulnerable to fluctuations in commodity prices, regulatory changes aimed at reducing carbon emissions and potential shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable alternatives. However, the fund’s composition represents the exposure of the FTSE 100 index which it aims to match.
