Introduction to funds

You can opt for one or more of the wide range of asset class funds, such as equity, property, fixed interest or cash funds. Alternatively there is a broad selection of mixed portfolio funds, which invest in a combination of assets.

Choose from cautious managed funds, suitable for low risk investors, through to specialist equity funds, suitable for investors willing to take a higher risk for potentially higher return.
