Neptune European opportunities account a

Theteacher

Need some opinions please, I have been investing £100 a month into this (neptune european opportunties fund a) since 2005 but returns of late seem very poor. Should I stick with it as I am in no rush for money or switch to higher performing fund.

You may have noticed that there have been a few "issues" in Europe recently? This has affected all European-focussed funds, and in effect means that your £100 is getting more bang for the buck as it were as you buy more units at lower prices. If you still feel that Europe is where the growth will come from going forward there would seem little reason to change it purely based on bad returns from a geographic area in turmoil?

I don't know which other investments you have etc I am purely responding to your question in isolation.

Europe has performed quite well over the past year, unfortunate for you, not that fund which is 129 out of 148, it has still returned 12%.
It is ranked 110 over 3 years and more currently i.e. past 3 months it is rated 146 out of 148. I used to hold this fund, you have just cheered me up that I binned it a while ago Then again the future is not necessarily a mirror of the past.
