We analysed the performance of investments against the index, uncovering an alarming disparity. Every year, UK investors are 2.1% behind the benchmark.

Following on from the report, we've explored the size of this 'chasm' below in our infographic, which shows how far behind UK investors are and explains how they could improve their own financial performance. As we've highlighted, lowering fees and making more robust financial decisions are the keys to unlocking better investment returns.
