    No you don't really but it is best to consult one to advise you on the best ones for your needs but you can do it on your own at places like Interactive Investor etc.

    It might be worth looking at companies ewbsites like New Star, Fidelity etc to get some brochures sent to you and then you can make a decision from reading the brochures.

    But as I said, it would be worth speaking to a IFA before you do start to give you some pointers.

    A limited amount of data is available free of charge on sites like Morningstar and Trustnet. However, you need to understand the data and what it means.
