80-20 Investor Best of the Best Selection – September 2015 Update

A total of 10 funds from August make it into September's selection, which is just less than half of them. Below I list this month's selection in full with the 13 funds that regained their place in black while the new additions are in green.

Just as last time, I have included the full list sorted alphabetically by name and then by risk category.
