Top funds if you're going for growth

Article Abstract:

UK growth funds reinvest profits rather than paying profits as income, and they can provide the best long-term returns, though they may also involve risks. Investors should assess the risk levels they are prepared to accept. Funds focusing on single areas tend to involve more risk than diversified funds. Emerging market funds can also offer good growth but can involve risk. International growth funds spread the risk around different countries. There are also recovery funds geared to stocks appearing undervalued, and venture capital trusts which focus on small firms.

Formula versus intuition

Article Abstract:

Discipline is increasingly being imposed in the UK investment industry as fund management groups become larger, and there is less autonomy for staff. Schroders argues for caution and strong house discipline, as do Mercury Asset Management, Gartmore and Barclays Unicorn. Other investment managers such as Fidelity, M and G and Perpetual, promote star performers in fund management. Perpetual recruits strong performers, and managers are given leeway as to how such a performance is achieved.

Trailing the unnameable

Article Abstract:

There are two types of offshore funds available to United Kingdom investors. They are funds which the Financial Services Authority (FSA) classifies as suitable, and those which do not have this recognition. Offshore funds have to offer a compensation scheme similar to that which operates in the UK in order to be recognised by the FSA. They also have to have a UK office and invest in FSA-approved markets. Brokers tend to be wary of giving information on non-approved funds.
