What is Spot the Dog?
Spot the Dog has been exposing badly performing funds since 1994. In doing so, not only has it encouraged hundreds of thousands of investors to keep a closer eye on their investments, but it has also pushed fund groups into taking ‘paws-itive’ action.
In the latest edition of Spot the Dog:
-
137 dog funds have been identified with £67.4 billion in total assets under management
-
There are a high number of funds badged with ‘sustainable’, ‘responsible’, ‘ethical’ or ‘impact investing’ in the doghouse
-
Get a breakdown of dogs by market sector
-
Find the fund management groups with the most misbehaving mutts
With investment, your capital is at risk. Spot the Dog is not advice to buy or sell. It is based purely on factual analysis of past performance, which is not a guide to how a fund will perform in the future. Indeed, there may be good reasons to believe that the future of the fund could be better.
