Is there anywhere to see a snapshot of how each of the above are preforming or have preformed over the last 12 months etc.

Sort of pointless since past performance is no guide to future returns.

Then how do you make a choice on one fund over another? Maybe past performance is necessary to make purchasing decisions?

It isn't, or at least it shouldn't be-unless you are are a chartist etc.

How does the past determine what happens in the future in the case of a fund?

All this is discussed elsewhere on AAM aand on the web generally. The Best Buys forum is not for debating the finer points of investing.

Thanks for that Covich, i never thought about it like that before - but of course your right, i can search the forums for this kind of stuff, i'm sure its been beaten to death at this stage.

i disagree

past performance tells you the nature of your investment. deposit style investments will have deposit style future returns etc and past performance is a guide to how a fund operates under certain conditions etc if those conditions are replicated then this is the essence of fund management. or does clubman think investment is the same as gambling ?
