Know Your Risk Level.

Establish Suitable Sectors

We like to use the Risk Profiler provided by Which? See SecZon ‘IdenZfying Your Risk Profile’.

Once you choose your suitable risk level, the porholio will idenZfy where you should invest. This is the asset allocaZon suitable to your risk profile.

3 Know The Best Funds

Assign the best funds to your chosen asset sectors. The enclosed Best Funds Report will idenZfy top performing funds in each sector.

Decide on a PlaCorm

At this stage, you need to find a fund supermarket with the lowest charges or seek financial advice.

6

Choose a Suitable Vehicle

Review Fund Choice Regularly

You may wish to consider different investment vehicles to hold your fund choice, such as pension or ISA, use taxable allowances or a porholio wrapper if used.

This may be the most important point moving forward. The best performing funds do not always remain the best funds. Carry out this exercise every 3 months!

UK Gilts Also known as government bonds -­‐ essenZally loans to the UK government in return for a fixed rate of interest.

Did you Know?

1. That the majority of funds managed by fund management companies do not reach the standard we require to be part of the Best Investment Fund Report? These fund management companies in most circumstances, bring in majority of their cash inflows to the poor performing funds they manage.

2. Majority of clients invested in funds in the UK were advised to put their money there by their Financial Adviser, yet 89% of monies invested in Unit Trusts & OEICS are in poor performing funds? These are funds that have not met the Black Knight standard. -­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐NOTE: What if your client shows this to their Financial Adviser? Wouldn’t it offend them?

3. The biggest goal of the UK financial services sector is to get funds under management so they can charge more annual fees, and that they are less focused on the efficient growth of your money. How do we know this? Well, because we are the only company that studies and analyse this sector to provide you with this service.

4. The only way to invest for efficient growth is to invest in the efficient and consistently growing funds.
