Both ii and AJ Bell have selected their own favourite funds (super60 in ii). Both of these fund lists are on their public websites so this makes it easier to narrow down the vast choices in the market.
II also have some model portfolios which are also on their public website.
In the end I mix and matched from the super60 list and the AJ Bell Favourite Funds list. While I find these lists invaluable in making investment choice manageable, I also approach them with some scepticism, for example….
II’s Japanese equity tracker is the HSBC Japan Index Fund (tracks FTSE Japan Index) with a cost of 0.14%
AJ Bells Japanese equity tracker is iShares Japan Equity Index Fund (tracks FTSE Japan Index) with a cost of 0.08%
Hence I don’t slavishly use the Super60 list.
I really like this format of the Super60…..
Even so, my one regret is not finding these platforms earlier in life! (I am 60).
Thank you for your answer. I regret for not being proactive enough and moving away from Aviva too. Anyway, it is never too late, right? I have read about II switching to a new software for their platform and users being unhappy that the software is not reliable and UI is worse. What do you think about that?
