  • Funds on the Select List must meet our criteria and are chosen based on:

    • Performance potential
    • Management quality and stability
    • Consistency and track record

    Each fund is selected because analysis indicates prospects for potential returns and long-term value.

  • We work with an independent investment research partner that provides ongoing fund analysis and ratings. The Scottish Widows Manager Selection team uses this input to review and approve fund ratings.

  • Any changes to the Select List will be updated here. Changes to the Select List of funds can happen for various reasons. You shouldn't see the removal of any funds as a reason to sell. If you are invested in any of these funds, you can continue to hold them if it suits your goals.

The Select List is designed to make it easier for you to explore funds that meet certain quality criteria.

It is for information only and is not a personal recommendation or financial advice. Funds are not guaranteed to perform in a particular way and may not suit your circumstances. If you’re unsure, seek regulated financial advice.
