Fund Views

Hi All,

I'm looking into investing in a couple of funds for the long term after having a recent pay rise.

I was just wondering what peoples views were on the following funds:

Axa Framlington Health
First State Investments Greater China Growth

I understand that these funds are both pretty high risk and I'm intending to invest in each of these funds monthly.

Any views would be appreciated.

Cheers

Rob

    I would ditch Framlington Health and maybe have Jupiter China or Gartmore China Ops instead.

    I'm still not convinced that it's a very good idea to invest solely in China. Some diversity (even with only 2 funds) is surely a good thing in anyone's portfolio?
