01: Introduction

If you are trying to select a suitable investment manager, you are unlikely to be able to complain about lack of choice, particularly if you are seeking to invest in an investment trust, open-ended investment company (OEIC) or unit trust as opposed to using a more bespoke discretionary or advisory service.

But having so much choice can create its own problems. With thousands of investment funds to choose between, a mere glance at the performance tables does not represent a sound basis for selecting a home for your money. There is clear case for seeking professional advice.Last Updated
