Summary

The Fund aims to provide a return on your investment (generated through an increase in the value of the assets held by the Fund) over the long term (5 or more consecutive years beginning at the point of investment).

The Fund invests at least 70% of its total assets in the equity securities (e.

g.

shares) of smaller companies incorporated, or listed on a stock exchange, in the United Kingdom which the investment adviser (IA)... view full document

Remember, you can set up as many separate GIA pots as you like with Cushon and they all sit in one main account behind the scenes. This is helpful if you want to ring-fence different pots for different savings goals, or to spread your money across different risk profiles.

Fund Factsheet Key Investor Information Document

This is the standard Key Investor Information Document for BlackRock UK Smaller Companies D Acc and is aimed at retail investors.

However, we buy funds wholesale on your behalf, which means that we may have negotiated better terms than stated in this document. In particular:

  • The minimum investment is a £100 lump sum or a monthly amount of £50 via direct debit or £10 via payroll and this can be spread across multiple funds.
  • There are no initial charges on any funds bought via us.

We do not accept any commission or other payments from fund managers. Our only income comes from flat 1.70 % charge you pay for investing with us.

Performance projection and risk

Our projected returns are calculated using the same approach as big financial services companies use when they're managing their own money. They take full account of all charges.

Read more about the risks of investing, try our risk/return explorer or find out about how we calculate projections.

No-one can predict what the stock market is going to do and projections are only based on the balance of probability. This portfolio is classified as extremely high risk/return and you may get back less than you put in. Projections are useful, but they are not reliable indicators of future performance. The "bad case" is not the same as "worst case":

  • There is a one in six chance that returns will be better than the good case
  • There is a one in six chance that returns will be worse than the bad case

Free CushonMe

CushonMe is our free investment risk and performance monitoring service. Its powerful algorithms will check up on your investment every single day and send you an email if any of its alerts are triggered.

It’s completely free to you (we pay for it out of the flat 1.70 % pa charge for investing with us) and you can read more about CushonMe here. But if you'd prefer not to have CushonMe you can choose to opt out when you set up your account.

The daily review covers five key things:

  1. Projected returns:

    whether other investments in our comparison tables have significantly better projected returns

  2. Performance:

    the recent performance of your investment

  3. Target:

    whether your investment is on track to meet the targets you've specified

  4. Risk / return:

    whether the risk/return profile of your investment has changed because:

    • there is now a significant risk of loss between now and your target date
    • market conditions are unusually volatile
    • the mix of your investment has drifted over time into a different risk / return category

  5. Charges:

    whether other investments in our comparison tables have significantly lower charges

One thing CushonMe won’t do is send you junk email. There are thresholds on each item to make sure we only alert you if it's really worth it.

CushonMe uses the same techniques as big financial services companies use to manage their own money, but it does not provide advice and you still make all your own decisions on what to do. We use sophisticated actuarial technology and we're the only people making this sort of powerful service available directly to consumers.

Charges

A breakdown of the charges for this investment is below. There are no other charges. You can switch funds, cash in your investment or transfer it to another provider for free at any time.

Annual Initial Other
Total charge 1.70% 0% None
Platform charges 0.79% 0% None
Fund managers' charges 0.91% 0% None
BlackRock UK Smaller Companies D Acc 0.91% 0% None

We make no initial charge on any of our investments. However, funds do incur dealing costs which they may pass on to you (at cost). Often these are free because funds get big economies of scale and can net trades off against each other, but if they do apply they are typically between 0% and 2% as a one-off cost.

The fund managers' charges apply on a fund-by-fund basis. The total shown is based on the initial proportion invested in each fund.
