Funds Underperforming? The Importance of Quality

Written on .

In light of the impact on investors from the recent pandemic, it is time to look into how well your funds are performing for you. When was the last time you reviewed your portfolio?

A recent report by Yodelar* analysed 14,600 funds and 95 Fund management firms for UK investors, highlighting that not only are some of the largest investment brands among the worst performers, but the 10 worst performing is also responsible for managing more than £500 billion of client money!

If you think that a brand is all that matters, think again. Many of the disappointing investment fund performances could actually be from the most popular brand names.

Why is Fund Quality important?

Poorly performing funds can have a detrimental effect on your overall investment portfolio. As such, the quality of funds that make up your portfolio can have a significant bearing on its performance. Inefficient investing means you are missing out on maximising growth due to subpar fund quality.

Reviewing Your Portfolio

If you haven’t looked into the performance of your investments, now is the time. This allows you to identify which funds might not be doing its best and finding potential areas for improvement. It is also an excellent time to consider diversified investments and alternative opportunities that are not tied to the traditional stock market.

Diversifying with Litigation Finance

Litigation Finance flourishes during tough times.

Litigation Financing is countercyclical. When other industries are financially pressured, their inclination to pursue litigation increases. This opens up opportunities to reach deals that include interest for funds provided, and if a case is successful, receive a share of the proceeds.

While many businesses are focused on public equities, litigation finance is not dependent on the traditional market. It’s largely a recession-proof industry, and currently enjoying boom times despite the recent impacts of the pandemic.
