Quinn Funds

    Am thinking of investing in Quinn F and was wondering what sort of spread of funds should be in the prtfolio? I won't be investing huge sums, just €150/€200 per month but am willing to leave it untouched for 10+ years. Given the recent drop in the US market would now be a good time to invest a higher percentage in the US Freeway funds?
    What other funds would be good "long -term" bets?

    Cheers,

    think about looking at an etf instead, as many funds underperform the indeces after charges

    Agreed. And if you are making regular small contributions, they probably work out cheaper.
    Disclaimer: I hold ETF's and not QuinnFunds

    Daveirl,
    Any particular spread of freeway funds you would recommend? I was thinking . . .
    Euro Freeway: 50%
    US Freeway: 20%
    China Freeway: 15%
    Latin American Freeway: 15%

    cheers,
    sombaht

    Tip for Quinn Funds: you can make 2 free fund switches per year, otherwise it's €25 per switch, but I've found out it's per calendar year. So if you time your switches, and your initial investment carefully, you can make 4 free switches in any 12 month period (i.e. June 07 to June 08.)

    Is the 1% charge here for their index funds not on the pricey side?

    well it's dearer than etfs for sure, but if you want to invest a small amount regularly imho it's the best option as otherwise you could have significant minimum trading costs to put up with even if you're only putting away €100 a month.

    plus the fact that quinn sort out the tax side is a plus

    They have 12 funds. Four of them have an AMC of 1%, four @ 1.2% and the remaining four @1.5%

    1% is fine (personal opinion) for index tracking funds or actively managed for that matter.
