Fund of the week: A recovery play for optimists

This top-performing fund is for those looking to profit from the next stock-market rally.

Markets have been hit by negative sentiment in the eurozone, the potential for a hard-landing in China and signs of economic softening in America. Yet "it is still higher-risk funds that top the performance tables over a three-year period, thanks to the rallying market during the 2009 and 2010 QE-fuelled bull run", says Joshua Ausden on FE Trustnet. With the Bank of England approving another £50bn bout of money printing, some funds could benefit further.

One is the £404m Standard Life UK Equity Unconstrained fund, with returns of 90% over three years compared to the IMA UK All Companies sector at 48%. That puts it in the top ten in its sector.
