Invesco Perpetual Income and Monthly Income Plus and Jupiter Merlin Income Portfolio were some of the largest funds falling out of favour with FE’s in-house analysts in the latest review of the FE Invest Approved fund list and the FE Invest MPS (model portfolio service).
Rob Gleeson, head of FE Research, says: “We've been quite stringent this time round and have had a bit of a clear out. Our focus has been to reduce duplication and so some big names have been dropped because they're too similar. For example, IP Income has been taken out, but we have kept in Strategic Income – because they are quite similar.
“We have also reduced exposure to classic multi-asset as the demand has fallen. This also reflects the move to risk-targeted fund solutions, which we will be adding in due course.”
