Searching for mutual fund examples usually leads to a list of product names. What is more useful is not the names but examples of what sits inside, and how to read it.

What Is a Fact Sheet?

A fact sheet is a periodic one- or two-page summary carrying a fund's key information: investment objective, portfolio composition, and cost information. It is published regularly and is the fastest way to understand what a product holds.

A fact sheet does not replace the prospectus. The prospectus carries the full terms, including risk factors that do not all fit on a fact sheet.

Which Parts to Read First

  1. Investment objective and policy:  These set which securities may enter the portfolio.

  2. Portfolio composition: This shows what is actually held, not just the type name.

  3. Top holdings: This shows how concentrated the portfolio is in a few securities.

  4. Cost information: The investment manager and custodian bank fees.

  5. Data date: Rvery figure on a fact sheet applies to a specific date, not to today.

The Part Most Often Misread

The performance chart on a fact sheet describes what has happened, not what will. Past performance does not guarantee future performance.

Net asset value per unit is also widely misread. A lower figure does not mean cheaper or better value, because it depends on the starting value and how long the fund has run. This is explained in our article on net asset value.

Where to Find a Fact Sheet

Fact sheets are generally available on the investment manager's website and from selling agents offering the product. Check the data date to make sure you are reading the latest version.
