    Is there a table which rates and recommends best performing FUNDs.

    No. There are websites that give performance data and fund data but just because a fund is top in its sector or top overall doesnt mean its the best fund to be in. That isnt how investing works.

    Recommendations are a regulated activity under FSA guidelines. Some sites will give opinions or fund ratings but many ratings are not worth a thing as they quickly become obsolete (e.g. rating stays on fund despite fund manager that gave those figures leaving 2 years earlier).

    Picking funds because its top of a pile in that period or because it has three crowns or 5 stars is an awful way to invest.
    I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.

    Try www.citywire.co.uk/Funds/Home.aspx

    Select IMA for unit trusts and ABI for insurance company funds. Ratings go back 10 years. Also has a separate rating service on fund managers, so you can cross check they are atill in charge of the same fund.
    Trying to keep it simple...;)
