Your friend has "done well" because the last couple of years have seen a bull market, not because there is anything special about Virgin Money. It would have been difficult for him to have done badly during that period. He has, however, paid way over the odds for his returns, and would almost certainly have done better elsewhere if for no other reason than the lower costs.
You still need to give us more information to go on. What is the purpose of your investment? What is the time frame? How much are you planning to invest? Will you add to this regularly?0
