Portfolio analysis - L&G funds not recognized in x-ray
Posted: March 20th, 2021, 3:45 pm
I'm trying to do my first ever portfoilio review and re-balance. In particular, I want to understand how I'm split on equities vs bonds, the geographical split, and how I'm positioned on growth vs value stocks.
I have (i) a home-grown portfolio of funds, and (ii) a DC pension fund held with L&G
I've used the Morningstar instant x-ray tool on my own portfolio, and it's given me some useful breakdowns across different dimensions.
I tried to do the same for the L&G pension investments, but I've hit a brick wall. The pension is spread across ten different funds. They are all listed on the L&G investment management fund centre, and each has an associated fact sheet, but I can't find any identifiers (e.g. ISIN codes) that Morningstar x-ray will recognize. The only codes they have seem to be purely internal to L&G, for example "Commodity Index Fund" is LGCE.
I'm thinking that the only way to progress this would be one of the following:
- find some universally recognized codes for each fund (I've tried, and this now seems unlikely)
- for each fund, find an ISIN for a different fund that has the same characteristics, which I could substitute for the purposes of an x-ray portfolio analysis
- look for an alternative to Morningstar that will recognize the L&G internal codes and provide similar analyses (also seems unlikely)
Any thoughts on this would be gratefully received.
