Bestinvest says


This fund started life as a pure technology fund but has since evolved to include other niche industries that are expected to experience rapid growth. Whilst an unconstrained approach best suits this style of fund, we have higher conviction in a number of alternative, higher risk specialist funds targeting above average returns.
