I've just set up a Rabo Direct account, and will soon be transferring about 5k in - with regular monthly additions.
I now need to work out which fund(s) to invest in. I am not risk averse and want to go for the biggest potential gains possible, I won't die in the unlikely event of loosing all my money. So, how does one choose which funds to go with?
The whole "Past Performance is not a reliable guide to future performance" bollocks really annoyes me. Otherwise you might as well guess! If you are looking at two funds, one has averages 3%-5% for last last 10 years, the other is slightly more volitire but has averages between 20%-30% gains per year. Which one are you going to put your money in? Maybe it's just me, but numbers don't lie...
Anyway, I've taken a look at many of them. Some such as bonds really go nowhere, the real growth is in Equities. Some of these look very interesting - shown with rough average growth

I think I've almost answered my own questions here, but I'd be intereested to hear your opinions.
Thanks
