Fund fees, in real pounds

A fund's OCF (ongoing charge figure) is its yearly running cost, taken automatically from what you hold. As a percentage it's easy to shrug off - so here it is in real pounds. On a £10,000 pot, the cheapest fund here costs about £3 a year and the priciest about £65 - every fund we cover is ranked below, cheapest first.

OCF figures are from each fund's published data as of the date on its own page. This is a factual fee reference, not advice on which fund to choose - a lower fee means more of the return stays with you, but fees are only one thing to weigh, and the cheapest fund isn't automatically the right one for any goal.

See how fees compound with the fee comparison and growth calculator, or read what OCF means in the glossary.

Common questions

Fund-fee questions, answered

What is a fund's OCF?

The ongoing charge figure is the fund's yearly running cost, shown as a percentage and deducted automatically. A 0.10% OCF is about £10 a year for every £10,000 you hold.

Why do small fee differences matter?

Because they repeat every year and compound. The gap between a 0.10% and a 0.60% fund is £50 a year per £10,000 - but left invested over decades, that difference adds up to a meaningful slice of your eventual return.

Is the OCF the only cost?

No. On top of the fund's OCF you may pay a platform/account fee, dealing charges, and a currency-conversion fee on funds priced in dollars. The OCF is the fund's own cost, not the whole bill.
