What's to like about this fund?

Ongoing charge: 0.31%
Risk level: 7
AJ Bell adventurous
What's to like about this fund?
Designed with adventure in mind, this portfolio is predominately share-based and so falls on the riskier side of things. But with greater risk comes the potential for greater rewards over the long term. You’ll need to feel comfortable with the sharper ups and downs though.

AJ Bell responsible screened growth
What's to like about this fund?

It's important to know
You have to be a UK resident for tax purposes to open an account with Dodl.
The past performance of investments isn't an indicator of their future performance and their value can go down as well as up. This means you could get back less than you originally invested.
Dodl doesn’t offer any advice so if you’re not sure about the risks involved with investing, you should speak to a suitable financial adviser.
How you're taxed depends on your circumstances, and tax rules can change in future.
