Which ISA ?

[GreenerGrass]

Any fund suggestions for this years 7k ISA allowance ?

Got a range of PEP's and ISA's from the last 12 years, invested in good years with surplus cash. They average out at about 11% p/a return (thought it was more till I worked out the compound effect !) which I am happy about. They are mostly with lowish risk uk and europe funds from the likes of fidelity + jupiter etc.
Looking for this years fund(s) and something global or china/india/russia including appeals. Got a good foundation of fairly conservative funds so think I can take a punt on something a bit more edgy.
Anyone got any suggestions, yes I know this isn't the place for investment advice, just interested if anyone else has a fund in mind.

If you are generally bullish on emerging markets then perhaps:
Allianz BRIC Stars (concentrates on Brazil, Russia, India, China)

or Gartmore Emerging Market Opps (spread over more countries)

JP Morgan Natural Resources has a bit of everything hard commodity wise - base metal miners, gold, uranium, oil and gas.

What with all these international carbon targets to meet Merrill Lynch New Energy Technology could do well even if everything else doesn't:

I have a number of Sterling's and they are great, though I guess its where you put the funds that counts

not where I put the money that worries me, its last year letter threatening of the possibility of cancelling all their ISAs

I've got Halifax IF ISA and one Sterling ISA (the sterling is not that good)

The stock market looks overvalued, China is about to go Pete Tong , so too the property market. Where is the value? where is it? I wants to know!

Is that a song by Black Eyed Peas?

Fidelity fund supermarket is a self select ISA.

Luke - If you're prepared to take on a little more risk & involvement this year then why not try a self select ISA. Many people are shunning the banking sector so it's fallen out of favour and I reckon there will be some buying opportunities there soon. Looking at dividend yield alone will bring up a number of good options, such as Lloyds, RBS and even Barclays (no they weren't the ones to take an emergency loan from BoE).

Long term, banks will make money. It's just a matter of letting the system absorb the fallout from the subprime loans and then moving on. The market dislikes uncertainty so once it's all on the table there will be a recovery.

There's probably still some falls to come so keep an eye out and try getting in when you believe your risk appetite will be outweighed by the yield and the longer term growth of the share price.

Got a few bob in that fidelity south east asia, it has been treading water and performing poorly for a good few years but decided to hang on to it. It has just gone up 83% in the last year....

Yes, I've got one. It's worth five pounds two and sixpence now.

First State Global Resources - that's been motoring along quite nicely this year.
