Every fund selection comes with a review, full details and our very own Chelsea Risk Rating, indicating the level of risk associated with each fund.

BUY – This indicates a generic, not personal, buy recommendation for the fund. Chelsea believes the fund could perform above the sector average and that the fund has been, and will continue to be, managed well by the current fund manager. A buy recommendation is not to be considered as advice on which sector to invest in, nor an indication that funds in that sector are currently performing well.
HOLD – This indicates a generic, not personal, hold recommendation for the fund. Chelsea believes that the fund will continue to perform well under the same management or has recently had a change of fund manager and is under review. If the fund has not been performing well recently, Chelsea Financial Services believes the current fund manager will be able to improve the fund's performance in the coming months.
SWITCH - This indicates a generic, not personal, switch recommendation for the fund. Chelsea believes that the fund will not perform well in the future and that other funds in its sector will perform better. This could be because of consistently poor past performance or because there has been a recent change of fund manager. For a list of alternative funds, please refer to the Chelsea Core Selection or Selection in our Viewpoint magazine.
