It’s not hard. As I said, the good ones do not outperform by chance.0 -

This means I have only made 13% in the last twelve months.

Funds are forward priced so if you put in an instruction tonight you will get the price at the next valuation point, often midday but it differs by fund, for instance Vanguard's LifeStrategy is 21:00. The settlement date and your contract note will follow a few days later
So if you purchased at 20:59 would you get todays price or have to wait for tomorrows?
Thinking practically, if I were to boost my investment tonight, now, at 6.30pm UK time, will my order not go through until tomorrow nights 21:00? Do you know when the latest is you can make an order?
With shares you know the price, make the order and buy pretty much instantly, with funds it seems a bit drawn out, especially in times of volatility when you want to make the order with only the best knowledge you can, which ordering 24hours prior to knowing the buy price isn't really!
Last time I brought the fund it took several days to go through and get the contract note!0 -
Was planning on increasing my VLS80 fund anyway, but is now a good time, or has the ship sailed and the markets already pretty much recovered?
Can see how the ftse's doing etc, but can't figure how to translate all that into the funds0 -

Your decision should not be influence by high frequency noise, but by long term trends“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”0 -
