This is the full annual review of the IC’s Top 100 Funds list, which aims to make life easier for DIY investors.
The difficulty in choosing an actively managed fund is the sheer number available. There are 3,582 UK authorised investment funds and 399 investment trusts to select from, making it difficult to know where to start. This list aims to be that starting point for your portfolio selection.
This year we have canvassed the views of ten experts in order to improve the list. As a result 20 funds have been removed from the list and 20 have been added. This represents a bigger overhaul than we envisaged but we do think it is an improvement.
