The New UK Star Manager: Should You Buy Blue Whale?

The Blue Whale Growth Fund has just been named the best global fund in the UK for 2026, and it has been one of the UK's strongest performers since launch. But buy it today and two-thirds of your money ends up in one idea: the chips that power AI. That is a very different portfolio from the one that built those early returns. So how did one of the UK's star managers produce this record, and is the fund you would buy now the same one that earned it? In this video we look at what the fund actually holds, whether cheap ETFs could have done the same job, and what it means for passive investors.
