    Indeed, we all want to be above average, but unfortunately that's a mathematical impossibility.

    Of course it is but some managers have a vastly better record than others and it’s not necessarily down to luck.

    The Blackrock Consensus fund is still available but I'm after an investment that could provide a better performance. It's fees are also 0.35%.


    I take your point about the Man GLG Japan fund, what I hadn't clarified is that I've recently bought into it after a period of plateauing and then a short downturn so been able to exploit that, depending on it growing again long term.
