How PowerFunds Works
Helping You Find Better Funds. Easily.
Most people don’t realise that the biggest risk in long-term investing isn’t stock market ups and downs, it’s being stuck in poor-performing funds for years.
At PowerFunds, we help you make smarter fund choices. Our system ranks over 70,000 UK funds, including unit trusts, ETFs and investment trusts, so you can easily see which are worth holding, and which you might want to replace.
Our Simple, Two-Step Rating Process
We give every fund a rating from 1 to 10, based on:
1. How well the fund category is doing
(e.g. US Equity, UK Small Cap, Global Tech).
Categories with stronger long-term returns score higher.
2. How well the fund performs against the best index fund in its category.
Funds that beat the top index fund get higher scores.
Each fund gets a clear rating:
*Best – top performer in a top category
*Good – strong results compared to peers and index funds
*Ok – average, similar to index performance
*Bad – lagging behind others in its category
Everything is measured after fees, so you see the true return.
Built on Proven Investment Science
PowerFunds is based on "momentum investing", a well-researched strategy used by the world’s top investors and backed by decades of academic studies.
Put simply:
Funds that have done well in recent years are more likely to keep doing well, for a while.
This is a well-known effect in markets, caused by how real people invest (often reacting slowly or emotionally). PowerFunds helps you benefit from this effect by identifying strong funds.

Why Medium and Long-Term Performance Matters
We focus on 3-year and 5-year performance to filter out short-term noise. That’s because:
Long-term results give a clearer picture of quality.
Short-term performance is often just luck or market timing.
Most savers invest for the future—pensions, ISAs, or children—so a long-term lens makes sense.
