Where do you find good investment prospects in turbulent times? Probably only the world's richest man, Warren Buffett, can give the definitive answer to that question - and we suspect his answer will have something to do with taking the long view.
No matter how good fund managers are, they will struggle to deliver decent overall short-term returns if their sector is performing poorly - especially in today's troubled investment climate.
We don't pretend to have all the answers but we do think you'll find Head of Research, Mark Dampier's Wealth 150 invaluable. It represents our favourite funds across all the major sectors for investments in ISAs, SIPPs and outside a tax wrapper.
Our 10-strong research team uses complex mathematical models and also meets more than 300 fund managers a year to find out about their investment strategies. In short, a fund must go through a rigorous selection process to be included in the Wealth 150 - but if you've invested elsewhere we don't necessarily recommend you sell those that are not listed. However, if you are planning to make a new investment we believe the Wealth 150 is a great place to start.
Wherever you choose to invest you should find something of interest. We are proud of our record so far.
The list is constantly monitored and updated to make sure it reflects our best ideas. If we add or remove a fund we let our clients know through our website and also in the pages of our Investment Times.
We also offer a range of multi-manager funds which allow you to leave the choice of underlying funds to our experts, and should you have any doubts as to the suitability of an investment for your circumstances please contact our Financial Practitioners for individual advice.
