The filters on this page help you get the information you want as quickly and easily as possible.
You can narrow your search down by using a combination of filters. Remember the more filters you apply, the shorter your fund results list will be. If you apply too many filters, your search may not find any funds at all!
When you have selected the filters you want to apply, click on ‘get fund prices’ or ‘get performance & factsheets’ depending on the information you require.
You must select an option from this filter. If you select Skandia Life, you must also select an option from the Fund type filter.

You may want to refine your search further by also applying the ‘sector’ filter. For example, you may want to find all Framlington funds which are also in the UK Funds sector.

This filter allows you to choose how many funds are displayed on-screen at one time – i.e. 20 funds per page, 50 funds per page, 100 funds per page, 200 funds per page, or all funds. If your computer has a slow connection speed, you may want to choose 20 or 50 funds per page, to reduce the time spent waiting for the fund results to display.
Remember also that the more filters you apply, the shorter your fund results list will be.
The ‘display’ filter lets you personalise the way funds are shown on-screen.
When you view fund information you can tick the ‘My fund’ box against any funds that you want to pay particular attention to.
By choosing ‘my funds first’ in the ‘display’ filter the ticked funds will appear at the top of the results list each time you visit the Fund Info page. To change or cancel your selection, simply un-tick the funds that are no longer required.
By choosing ‘my funds only’ in the ‘display’ filter only the ticked funds will appear in the results list each time you visit the Fund Info page. To change or cancel your selection, simply un-tick the funds that are no longer required.
If you have not ticked any funds as ‘my funds’ you should select ‘all filtered funds’ from the ‘display’ filter.

% growth over 1 year ending… - there are five columns showing discrete annual percentage growth figures for each fund. Discrete performance is the % growth of an investment during a defined 12 month period. If a fund has less than 12 full months’ performance data to the month ended shown in the table, no performance data will show for that fund. This is due to the regulation on display of past performance history.
Cumulative performance % and quartile rank… - the final columns displayed in the fund performance and factsheet table will show cumulative percentage growth and quartile rankings for each fund over the performance time periods you selected. 5-year performance figures will always be displayed where this performance history is available. If a fund has less than 12 full months’ performance data, no performance data will show for that fund. This is due to the regulation on display of past performance history.
