Th e answer is, he will probably do well. Of course, there is no guarantee,<br />

but the probability of him performing well next season is pretty high.<br />

Th at same principle applies to fund managers. In other words, when<br />

fund managers have great track records, they are also likely to keep<br />

doing well in the future, but as I’ve said, the challenge investors face is<br />

fi nding them.<br />

Let’s move on to ISAs.<br />

ISAs are fantastic. Yes, they really are the UK’s best-kept secret and it is<br />

not common knowledge about how they work or how powerful they are.<br />

Many people think that when they take out an ISA with a bank, their<br />

ISA has to remain with that same bank for life.<br />

A few people mistakenly think that they are locked in and can’t move it.<br />

Both these myths are utter nonsense.<br />

With your ISAs, you have the power to control where your money is<br />

being parked or invested. And you can change your mind at any time.<br />

And if you have been placed in a Stocks and Shares ISA by your bank<br />

manager, broker or fi nancial adviser, with a little training, it is really easy<br />

to check to see how good their recommendations have been. 66<br />

Th is is just one of the things my clients are taught when they become a<br />

member of the premium service we off er.<br />

And when they have that knowledge, clients tell me that it makes their<br />

bank managers, brokers or advisers feel very nervous. Knowledge of the<br />

characteristics of a good fund versus the characteristics of a bad fund<br />

gives you serious power over your adviser.<br />
