Two funds in Vanguard’s LifeStrategy range rose in popularity last week. Costing 0.22%, the version that has 80% invested in equities and 20% in bonds rose one place to fourth, while the 100% equities version rose three places to sixth. They are “funds of funds”, built using Vanguard’s own index funds, providing a useful one-stop shop for investors seeking global stock and bond market exposure.

Another big riser last week was Greencoat UK Wind 

UKW

0.44%, which rose three places to third. It has a dividend yield of 8.5% and owns wind farm assets across the UK.

The final riser was Fidelity Index World, which was a new entry in 10th. This fund was one of three global equity passive funds to make last week’s top collectives list. It tracks the MSCI World index of developed market shares for a 0.12% annual fee.

This makes it slightly different to ninth place Vanguard FTSE Global All Cap Index and eighth place HSBC FTSE All-World Index, which track both developed and emerging market shares, and are therefore more diversified.

Royal London Short Term Money Mkt and L&G Global Technology Index were the most popular funds again, giving investors access to a “cash-like” return and global technology stocks respectively.

Artemis Global Income and Scottish Mortgage Ord 

SMT

0.05% dropped in popularity last week but held on to their spots on the most-bought list. Respectively, they are actively managed portfolios of income and shares and growth shares.

UK equity income investment trust City of London dropped off the list.
