Dan Kemp: We're getting very close to the ISA deadline, and so if people are looking to use their ISA allowance now, I think they're going to want some fairly broad funds, rather than have to do all their research themselves on niche opportunities. So, I've picked three from different broad sectors that I think will have broad appeal.

The first is in the global equity sector. Again, global equity is very broad spread. I've picked the Investec Global Equity Fund. That's a Bronze-rated fund. It's run using Investec's 4Factor model and that's a very powerful quantitative strategy, which is overlaid by the experience of the manager. James Hand leads it but he's got a big team behind him.

In the bond sector, I've gone for again the Bronze-rated GLG Strategic Bond Fund. GLG is better known as a hedge fund house and really this strategic bond fund comes out of that heritage, and so the manager is looking to take a very flexible approach, ideal for someone who wants broad exposure.

And then finally for those that can't decide where they want equities or bonds, I have gone for the Gold-rated Jupiter Merlin Balanced Fund. That's a multi-asset fund run by one of the highest regarded multi-asset management teams in the U.K. Again, great experience, a good process, and one for people that want broad exposure.
