mutual funds...

depends on how long you're planning to hang onto them?

if your outlook is only 6months, try a spread bet (tax free)


if you sell a mutual fund within 1 year, all your gains are likely to be eaten up in fees.

I subscribed to MONEY WEEK some time ago. I noticed that a lot of these funds are yielding 85% over three years.
One so called "Cautious option" returned 115.83% over the same period..
I have their website address if you want to take a look.

Initial charges vary but heres an example of one particular aggresive type fund.. Initial charge: 5.25% Annual management charge 1.5%.

Now this can definatley be dangerous to your wealth!!!
You need to have a good knowledge of the stock market and know how to set tight stops on companies that you have researched to the hilt..
Not for widows or orphans IMO!!
