Our view on this Fund

This fund is on the Wealth Shortlist of funds our analysts believe have the potential to outperform their peers over the long term. However, this is not a recommendation to buy.

This fund tracks the FTSE 100 index of the largest companies on the UK stock market. Lots of these companies are big multinationals that make most of their money overseas. So even though it only invests in UK companies, investors get exposure to the global economy too. Legal & General has a large and experienced team. They keep their costs low and have done a good job of performing similarly to the index to date.

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

The fund's tracked the FTSE 100 index closely since it launched. A big part of this is down to the fund's low charges. As with all tracker funds though, the performance will almost always be slightly behind the index due to the charges.

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 every company 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

Legal & General is one of the most conservative tracker fund managers. The fund invests in every company in the FTSE 100 index and in the same proportion. This is called 'full replication' and gives it the best chance of tracking the index precisely. Legal & General don't lend shares to other companies. Other tracker managers do this to reduce costs, but it adds risk to the fund.
