Hi all, am looking at starting a stakeholder pension with Scottish Widows and selecting my own funds within this. Does anyone have any recommendations/comments about their funds based on past performance? Am looking for medium to high risk (75%) with the rest invested in lower risk tracker style funds. Thanks, :D

    The personal pension is better than the stakeholder. It offers the best of both worlds with the internal range and the external. As a medium/high risk investor, stakeholder really isnt the product for you as the fund ranges available on stakeholders is geared to the basic inexperienced investor who typically is medium risk or lower.

    Why do you think tracker funds are lower risk?They are not.If anything, they are higher risk.

    Ok but which of their funds available through the stakeholder pension are the best in terms of previous performance? Thanks,
