to refocus the list. It is not that we are unhappy with the funds below; we believe all have sound long term prospects and in our opinion existing investors should continue to hold. Other funds in the Wealth 150 either simply offer something similar, or you can gain access to the manager via another featured fund.

Other Changes to the Wealth 150:

In addition, following a period of poor performance the funds below are now under review and we have removed them from the Wealth 150. Again we believe existing investors should continue to hold. Each manager has enjoyed periods of strong performance in the past and at this stage we do not feel investors should switch. We shall monitor each fund; if you hold them through HL and our views change, we shall let you know.
