What is a Value Assessment?
Fund Managers are required to regularly assess whether the fund they manage delivers value to investors. When completing their assessment, they will consider investment performance, service offered, costs and charges, and competitor funds. The Assessment of Value for funds is subject to the Financial Conduct Authority's Collective Investment Scheme (COLL) rules or a Price and Value Assessment (PRIN) for other funds not subject to COLL rules.
Why it matters to investors?
The Value Assessment helps an investor understand how a Fund Manager has considered how their fund has delivered value for money or is expected to deliver value for money. The Fund Manager will explain the actions they are taking if their fund has not delivered value for money or it is not expected to deliver value for money.

The London Stock Exchange does not disclose whether a trade is a buy or a sell so this data is estimated based on the trade price received and the LSE-quoted mid-price at the point the trade is placed. It should only be considered an indication and not a recommendation.
Trades priced above the mid-price at the time the trade is placed are labelled as a buy; those priced below the mid-price are sells; and those priced close to the mid-price or declared late are labelled 'N/A'.
