Black rock consensus 85

Cash-Cows

Could someone explain the different versions, please? There seems to be four versions A, D, I and X.

I want an accumulation version.

Thanks.

They are different classes of the same fund with different fees. Your platform will usually only offer only one of them and it can be either Acc or Inc, up to you

This article should help (there's a key at the end) .... though as it explains, not all the letters are standardized across the industry.

A is the one you would buy if you bought the fund from BlackRock direct; it includes an allowance for the cost of administering your account. D and I are the ones you would get from fund platforms; it has a lower annual charge because the platform will charge you separately for administering the account.

X apparently has no management charges and a minimum investment of £10,000,000, and I assume it is for very large institutional investors who will negotiate their own charges with BlackRock.
