The most popular assets on Bestinvest
We share which funds, shares, ETFs and investment trusts our clients are investing in the most.
The value of your investments and the income from them may go down as well as up, and you could get back less than you invested.
The lists are provided for information purposes only. They should not be taken as a personal recommendation and are not intended to provide advice. All clients should carry out their own research and get financial advice before investing if unsure. The top 10 is based on the number of accounts that have purchased the investment during the month.
