Small differences can happen for normal reasons
Portzo return figures may sometimes differ from provider websites. That does not always mean one figure is wrong. It can happen because of timing, data source, calculation method or the exact fund share class being used.
A provider may update a fund value after Portzo last captured data. Another provider page may show returns to a different month-end or use a different start date. Some figures may include charges in one place and not in another, depending on the provider and product.
Fund names can also be similar. A provider may have several versions of a fund with different charging structures or policy types. That can create confusion if two sources are not referring to the exact same fund version.
How to handle differences
- Check the date of the data.
- Compare the exact fund name and code where available.
- Read provider factsheets for official details.
- Use Portzo to understand patterns, not as a legal statement of value.
Portzo is educational only. Provider documents and scheme statements remain important official sources.
