The top ten list includes names such as Templeton Global Total Return and Invesco Perpetual High Income, but only two bond funds, as investors turn to equities for returns.
Holly Cook, managing editor of Morningstar.co.uk, said: "UK, US and European equities have all enjoyed a strong start to 2013, while many emerging markets have struggled year-to-date, highlighting the drawback of chasing ‘hot’ topics.
"However, despite the riskier nature of areas such as emerging markets and natural resources, we believe these funds present attractive opportunities for investors. All ten are highly rated by Morningstar’s fund analysts and we believe they will continue to outperform their category peers."
