I have a stocks and shares ISA which is currently an ETF with £3k invested, it's not doing to bad (up 5%) but was wondering if I would be better going with a managed fund instead?

Thanks in advance

    Maybe, maybe not. Only hindsight will tell you the answer.

    I have something in my left hand. And something in my right hand. Which is best?

    I think it is actually, fund #42.



    (although have to be honest, I always thought it was #49)
