FE announces its 2015 FE Alpha Managers, marking out 182 managers as the top 10% running funds available to UK retail investors. Of these, 37 attained the designation for the first time this year. A further nine managers were included in the 2014 list who missed out last year, but who had been rated in previous years.

FE Trustnet, the free fund research website, has overhauled its factsheets to create a one-of-a-kind fund research centre to help investors research and find funds which suit their needs.
