Investors often question their choice of fund.
This is a question which is often posed by unit trust investors. A conservative investor, for instance, would suffer sleepless nights by having his money in a high-risk fund, even though it renders him a high return. A daredevil investor, on the other hand, will be exasperated with the lower returns produced by a low-risk fund, preferring to go for a riskier fund in the hope of making a bigger return. The data has been supplied by independent company Micropal, and is based on the September 30 quarterly figures. A scatter-plot graph showing the returns achieved by a fund relative to the risks taken by the fund manager, is internationally accepted as being a simple guide for individual investors.
