Shares can be counted differently across listings: some funds hold ordinary shares and others depositary receipts (ADRs), so compare values rather than share counts between funds. Share counts are shown as disclosed; buying and selling figures allow for share splits, detected when every fund's count jumps by the same ratio as the price falls. Funds identify overseas holdings by ISIN, SEDOL, ticker or name; we group them by company.
All investment options
Every investment option each fund publishes, added up: default, choice, pension and defined benefit money. Each option's disclosure is its own share of the fund, so the options add up to the fund's whole holding. Latest disclosure only.
