The 20 most popular Junior Isa fund choices From this data we have constructed our own special league of the twenty most popular Junior Isa funds. This doesn't mean these are the best funds for you but it can help inform your decision. In order to rank the funds the best-selling fund at each company was given a score of 10, while the 10th best-selling fund scored one. We then added up the scores at the four fund brokers to arrive at a total, out of a maximum of 40. Our table below shows the 20 highest-scoring funds. As the table shows most popular funds with parents invest for their children are with fund managers with proven track records. Top of the list is Neil Woodford, who manages the eponymous Woodford Equity Income fund. Mr Woodford previously worked at Invesco Perpetual for twenty five years before setting up his own firm this year is regarded as one of Britain's best fund manager. Mr Woodford only launched his new fund in June but has quickly become the most popular fund with Junior Isa customers across the four brokers. The second most popular fund, Invesco Perpetual High Income, is the portfolio Mr Woodford used to manage. It is now run by Mark Barnett, an experienced investor who worked closely with Mr Woodford. Mr Barnett runs money in a similar way to Mr Woodford, investing in defensive blue-chip UK companies which produce stable dividends. Other respected fund managers in the top twenty include Giles Hargreave, who manages the Marlborough Special Situations fund and Fundsmith Equity, which is run by Terry Smith.
