"Where should I start?"

Choosing a fund is the last thing you should do - actually the penultimate thing, because once you have invested, you do also need to monitor performance. There is much to be done first, and the whole process is in four parts:

fund selection (within the above parameters)
ongoing monitoring - staying in the best possible funds

Staying in the best funds - OUR FREE SERVICE
