best performing asset for 2011 : Equities have been predicted to do well next year. Equity investment funds have been predicted as being the best performing asset next year.The Association of Investment Companies (AIC) has released its economic outlook for 2011, which revealed that 80 per cent of fund managers regard equities to be the most profitable opportunity in the coming 12 months. This is an increase from 50 per cent of investors who predicted the same during 2010.

Acting communications director for the group Ian Overgage said that fiscal recovery is likely to continue for the immediate future, adding that investors are "putting their faith in the emerging economies as the sector to watch and resources as the sector of choice".

Earlier this year, the AIC revealed the average private equity company was up 53 per cent for the first few months of 2010, but down 24 per cent over the last five years, as a result of the recession.
