Stuart Watson and Sonia Rehill discuss why most people buy funds when they start investing.

In this edition, Stuart and Sonia look into why the majority of people buy funds over shares when they first begin investing, and explain the surprising statistic that seven out of 10 fund managers actually underperform the FTSE 100 (UKX). They then ask how private investors can outperform the market, and point towards three multi-baggers in recent years: Domino's Pizza (LSE: DOM), Rangold Resources (LSE: RRS) and Tullow Oil (LSE: TLW).
