Which Vanguard fund

The fund that the OP has bought is a (low) liquidity fund, not a momentum fund.

The one to which I referred is the one he is considering buying with the other half of his Vanguard money, a momentum fund. Or an emerging markets fund or an active managed global equities fund or an active managed balanced fund.

The OP seems to have preconceptions about where to invest.

We don't know the investment timeframe,
We don't know the aims.
We don't know the attitude to risk.
We DO know that the investment world begins and ends with Vanguard.

Vanguard (as has already been mentioned) is a passive specialist. Why on earth choose them over (say) Fundsmith or Lindsell Train for a core actively managed global beats me.

OP: if you are going the active route then you need to focus on the quality of the fund manager.

Got some with Fundsmith but never heard of Lindsell Train before, they look very interesting, good performance over the past five years. Do they allow direct investing like Fundsmith or do we buy via a broker?

Sorry misread your post (although he hasn't given any rationale for buying the liquidity fund either). I don't think the message is getting through anyway.

I invest via SIPP/ISA wrappers. According to Lindsell Train's website these are the platforms through which you can invest.

The whole idea of favouring stocks with lower trading volumes was something I looked into a number of years ago, this is the first fund I have seen which attempts to implement this.

Thanks for that link, didn't manage to find it myself when looking through their website. That is unfortunate as I have deposited a chunk with iWeb ready for funds investment but they're not one of the listed brokers.

Is there anywhere I can get a chart of their past performance going back to year 2000 when they started?

Anyone know where we can see performance of Lindsell Train funds since inception in yr 2000?

As iWeb, where I have recently transfered some ISA cash to, don't seem to allow invetments in Lindsell Train and I don't really want the grief of having to start moving ISA funds about again are there any other similar alternatives to Linsell Train apart from Fundsmith which I already hold?

Unfortunately Lindsell Train funds are not available through iWeb, this is because Lindsell Train funds still have provision for 'trail commission' which was outlawed in 2012, this classes it as a dirty fund, hence why iWeb don't allow it.
