How to choose a fund

The highest rate this week is not automatically the best choice. Look at:

  • The manager: are they licensed by CMA? How long have they run funds?
  • Consistency: is the yield steady over months, or does it jump around?
  • Withdrawals: how many days does it take to get your money, and are there fees?
  • Minimums: how much do you need to start and to top up?
  • Size and reviews: what do other members say about service and the app?

Short-listing three good funds and splitting your money between two of them is a sensible approach.
