    Just came across this today. Out of 44 funds they provide, only one has shown a positive growth in the last year.

    Link (Select the annual growth tab)

    One even had loss of 45% :eek: How much do fund managers get paid again?

    If the pros can't get it right, what chance does the little guy have?

    hmmm. About to send my application back to Rabo to open an account. Should I hold off on this?

    No. Rabo is about the safest place you could have your money.
    Their online banking is excellent.

    Just leave your money in their savings account.

    Dubh Geannain is talking about their investment funds.

    True. That's what I've done.

    I am not defending active management here but, to be honest, the index tracking funds for the same period look just as horrible.

    Makes for horrible reading. I've invested in the worst hit ones aswell. :(
    Ah well.
