- Yodelar’s new range of Index portfolios have an average annual charge of just 0.16%
- There are 9 different risk options spread across multiple providers for maximum Government FSCS protection
- The portfolios offer advanced diversification with greater protection, lower costs and attractive growth opportunities
- When compared against 22 of the most popular, similar risk rated index portfolios, the Yodelar Index portfolios achieve better returns at lower cost
When it comes to low cost index tracker funds, too many investors invest in the same brand, and do not diversify across multiple brand names for increases protection. Furthermore many of the well known index funds are low cost in comparison to active funds, but high compared to other index funds.
For investors seeking portfolios that align with their key priorities of quality, convenience, and affordability, the choices available are often scarce. Our research detailed in this article has found that many of the top performing funds come at premium prices - readymade convenient portfolios typically lack quality, and low-cost portfolios lack diversification and often sacrifice on performance for low cost.
There is clear void of options available that meet the needs of UK investors. To assist investors interested in efficient low cost options Yodelar Investments has recently launched a new range of Index portfolios with an annual charge averaging 0.16%.
These 9 risk rated portfolios are comprised of high quality funds from several different fund management brands, each strategically weighted to optimise diversification and growth potential.
This new innovative range of Index Portfolios are the outcome of rigorous analysis, research and risk modelling and have the primary function of providing cost conscious investors with low-cost, globally diversified, top performing investment opportunities.

Yodelar Core Portfolios

Revolutionising Index Investing: Superior Performance At Lower Cost
We analysed the costs and performance of 22 of the most popular index portfolios available to UK investors. The 22 portfolios manage a combined £44 billion of investor money and they range in risk levels from a risk averse 3 out 10 to a more adventurous 7 out of 10.

Displayed above is a comprehensive overview showcasing the performance of our innovative index portfolios, which is based on their weighted underlying fund performance. Additionally, it provides a comparison of their charges against those of alternative models with similar risk ratings. This comparison serves to underscore the superior quality and performance of our Index range, coupled with significant cost savings that is clearly evident.
More Resilient Investing At Lower Cost
Our new index portfolios range in cost from between 0.15% and 0.17%, which is considerably lower than the 0.26% average across popular alternative multi-asset index portfolios.
Consisting of a blend of index-tracking funds, these portfolios benefit from exposure to a wide range of markets and the growth benefits each market offers - without the additional risks of poor fund management or market timing as Index funds never underperform the markets they track – a feat over 85% of active IA sector funds fail to achieve historically.
Also, as index funds do not require extensive manager research, their costs are significantly reduced. Our Index portfolios will have an average charge of just 0.16%, which is considerably lower than active model portfolios, and even lower than most index products currently on the market.
Our Index portfolios are optimised for today’s cost and risk-conscious investors. They may capture fewer peaks than our growth focused core portfolios during bull runs but they will mitigate losses when markets swing, and in the long term they will be well placed to outperform the vast majority of similar risk rated portfolios at a fraction of the cost.
Why The Yodelar Index Portfolios Have The Optimal Strategy
In recent years, the fund management industry has heavily marketed all-in-one global equity funds as a convenient, set-and-forget investment option. These funds track popular global indexes or combine multiple asset classes into a single fund. While convenient, this approach can increase risks and provide insufficient diversification for most investors.
All-in-one funds often heavily favor US stocks and tech companies focused on growth. These sectors, dominant in popular global benchmarks, can pose a significant risk of amplifying losses when previously soaring industries experience a downturn, as evidenced by the double-digit declines seen in global funds in 2022.
Achieving true diversification entails carefully balancing exposure across various geographic regions, company sizes, sectors, and growth rates. However, in the case of all-in-one funds, the focus tends to shift towards tracking mainstream indexes rather than prioritising diversification. This approach can leave cost-conscious investors vulnerable to risks such as fluctuations in US interest rates and volatility in tech stocks.
On the other hand, our index portfolios provide the ease of use similar to that of all-in-one funds, but with a deliberate emphasis on risk management and enhanced diversification. This innovative and meticulously crafted approach is designed to cater to investors across varying market conditions, offering secure and cost-effective Index fund options with genuine global diversification and risk assessment.
Enhanced FSCS Protection with Our Index Portfolios
In light of prominent fund collapses such as Neil Woodford's in 2019, safeguarding investor interests has become a paramount concern. The UK Government's Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) plays a crucial role in providing security by insuring investments up to £85,000 per provider in the event of unforeseen circumstances. However, it is important to note that many popular bundled products, like multi-asset funds, may limit protection as they are tied to a single provider, thus restricting overall coverage.
Our Index Portfolio range is intentionally constructed to maximise FSCS coverage by blending funds from multiple top-tier management brands across regions and assets. We understand that true diversification requires flexibility beyond convenient one-stop solutions. Carefully selecting specialised index tracking funds from various best-in-class providers enables us to spread and minimise risk.
Offering resilience in methodology and manager diversity, our Index Portfolios will help investors to maximise their protection under the FSCS - whilst also delivering quality returns at low cost.
Embracing the Benefits of Efficient Low-Cost Index Portfolios
Index funds take a different approach, simply replicating the performance of a specific market index rather than trying to outsmart it. Without the need for extensive manager research or trading teams, individual index funds can have fees as little as 0.1% per year - a fraction of most actively managed choices. Over long time horizons, these bottom-line savings compound to meaningfully boost overall returns.
Our new Index Portfolio range retains this significant cost advantage of index tracking while also optimising risk-return balance through intentional diversification across asset classes and global markets. Meticulous allocation modelling minimises volatility risk and creates opportunities for sustained, long-term growth - at a fraction of the cost of traditional active management options.
Summary
In summary, Yodelar's new Index Portfolio range offers investors a compelling combination of diversification, protection, and cost-effectiveness.
By strategically blending specialised index funds across asset classes and top providers, we've engineered an approach that aims to outperform both single-provider bundled products over the long run. With an average annual charge of just 0.16%, our Index Portfolios empower cost-conscious investors to keep more of their hard-earned returns while still benefiting from professional risk modelling and global diversification. For those seeking efficient growth at a truly exceptional value, Yodelar's innovative Index Portfolios represent a new standard in low-cost, resilient investing.
