Alternative ways to invest in Abcam

Via a fund

Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Abcam), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.

Abcam is a major part of the London stock exchange, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Frequently asked questions

Abcam's shares were split on a 5:1 basis on 14 November 2010. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 5 shares.
