October saw equities triumph over debt and income remain a core investor objective according to The Share Centre. See which funds made their list of bestsellers here.

The CF Woodford Equity Income fund took the top position for the fourth month in a row. According to Andy Parsons, head of research for The Share Centre, the fund’s continued popularity is down to Woodford’s “tried and true” approach to investing.

He said: “The combination of core dominant dividend payers and Neil’s appetite for investing in small start-up companies, whether they be quoted or unquoted, ensures that investors have some real diversity within the fund.”

The Invesco Perpetual Monthly Income Plus fund, with a portfolio comprised of 80 per cent high yielding debt and 20 per cent UK equities, came in second place. Parsons said: “Whilst predominantly a bond fund, the equity kicker ensures investors are likely receive a slightly punchier overall return.”
