Scottish widows

Options
I am in my early 20s and I am in Group plan with Scottish Widows and it has been suggested to me that I should go for the adventurous plan. I have been sent a booklet but there are a number of funds mentioned and I don't know which one to choose or whether I should choose more than one and which to go for.

How should I go about deciding?

    You never pick one fund. That is old fashioned investing and even if you picked the best fund of the moment, you would end up with less than a sector allocated spread.

    You should pick across the sectors putting amounts into each which average out to match your personal risk profile (and not anyone elses)
