Comparing this week's HSBC report to last week's, there are no new names on the top-performing list. However, there are a lot of position swaps, like the RPD Opportunity Fund surging from ninth to third place. The fund generated 10% gains since its last report, drawing the most attention. Also, Equitile Resilience Fund moved from eighth to fifth place, adding four points to their performance.

In the bottom five list, there was only one shift, with the GAIA Bluetrend Fund from Schroders falling off it after gaining about 4 points. It was replaced by the SMN Diversified Futures Fund, despite it generating almost 6% during August.
