- We highlight 50 standout options across major regions and asset classes
- The latest update sees us diversify the choice by investment style and address some idiosyncratic fund challenges
Picking a good active fund is easier said than done. Some are hard to analyse, few provide a consistent level of outperformance and to cap it all off there are thousands of options available to UK investors. But the best have rewarded their backers much more richly than the average passive fund – while also serving as a more diversified and less time-intensive form of investing than exclusively picking shares.
If that explains the enduring allure of the active fund, parsing all the options available seems like an impossible task. Our yearly top funds list seeks to help with that problem by providing a concise selection of options that we view as the most appealing plays on different equity regions and asset classes. While this is a concise list of just 50 funds and certainly not exhaustive, it could serve as a useful starting point for your own research into the portfolios on offer.
