Advantages: ethical, profitable Disadvantages: subject to market forces, like most investments
...The Framlington investment funds are probably the most profitable area in which I have ever put my faith and money.
The initial account charges are low, amounting to no more than 1%, in the areas in which I have invested. However, more importantly they have collectively out-performed any other unit trust or PEP over the last 10 years, with the Income fund in particular gaininh 230% in the last 12 months.
The Health fund is ethically run and does not invest in the somewhat dubious areas engaged by certain funds, allowing peace of mind and a clear conscience as one watches the fund grow.
Unfortunately, PEPs are no longer available, but I will certainly be making use of my ISA allowance this year to expand my portfolio in Framlington's favour....

Advantages: Price is cheap Disadvantages: The technology downturn may have further to go
...I follow financial markets quite closely and note that Framlington are a conservative and solid company.
Whilst surfing today, I came across the biggest losers in the Footsie this week.
Amongst them was the above Fund. I could not believe how much the Trust price has fallen, although I am not an investor in it.
also, having read a review on it today - I think that it is worth buying in to as the are holding alot of cash at the moment and if they selectively pick the right stocks going forward - there will definately be gains to had.
I also think that it is for the long term - technology is here to stay.
I am going to request an application and read through costs eg. initial charges etc prior to committment - but I think that Framlington are a competitive fund manager.
As always, be prudent in your investements and don't risk...

Advantages: Wide variety of funds for all risk levels, low rates for changing funds Disadvantages: Needs an independant advisor
...Skandia (web site skandia.co.uk) offer a range of unit trust based investiment oppertunities. They charge at competitive rates but are not in any way cheap to join but the products have some key advantages.
The first and most substantial advantage is that you get to choose from a wide range of unit trusts. So if you want to open an ISA (MultISA), move your PEP (MultiPEP) or do a straight forward unit trust investiment (Multifund) you can choose from some of the best companies and funs around. You could for example start an ISA with the following funds:
Henderson Global Technology
Framlington Health
Baring UK Small Companys
Threadneedle Americian Select
Aberdeen Fixed Interest
This portfolio would take five years to obtain by taking out individual ISA's with the companies involved. Additionally you can change the funds...

Why is it that a game better than any other of its type is fairly unknown?
It may be to do with the fact that it is quite hard to get hold of, or that people do not realise how good this game really is. I came across it by accident, and at present,... more
