Choose from over 600 funds from 33 leading Fund Managers to find a selection that suits your investment objectives and risk profile.  

Funds are generally less risky than investing directly in single shares as the pooled money is invested in a range of underlying investments, such as shares, bonds, and property, so the risk is spread and reduced.  To help you make your choice we offer you unrivalled real-time research and analysis on all aspects of investment funds.

Why invest in funds:

• Expert management. Your money is in the hands of experienced, professional managers who are there to try and make sure that the fund delivers on its objectives.

• Choice. There are hundreds of funds available – you’re sure to find one that suits your investment objectives and risk profile. You will often have the option of income or accumulation units in your chosen fund.

• Access to new markets. Certain funds allow you to get into markets that might be difficult to access through normal share trading, such as emerging markets.

• Tax efficiencies. You can put funds you purchase into an Investment ISA or SIPP (Self Invested Personal Pension) and take advantage of the relevant tax benefits.

• Liquidity. Should you wish to redeem your fund at short notice at the current market price, you can. But you should remember that funds are generally viewed as medium to long-term investment and you could get back less than you invested.

• Simplicity. Funds can remove a lot of the complexity involved in an investment decision and combine this with ease of access and ease of use.

You can buy and sell Funds through any of our Barclays Stockbrokers Trading Accounts or, if you’re looking for a tax-efficient shelter for your investments, have a look at our ISA and SIPP accounts*.
