I would look at low cost trackers, for simplicity.
This. In spades.
Index tracker outperform almost all managed funds, even before taking off fees (0.07% & 0% for a cheap tracker, versus 2 and 20 for a fancy fund).

Vanguard is the king of passive low fees at the moment.
In terms of active I would look at fundsmith. They have very simple strategy nd few stocks, regularly nd consistently out performing the market.
Most important low fees. -
2 and 20?
What about sticking some money in a managed fund and some in Nutmeg (robo managed different to index tracker?) ?

They have been proven to seriously stunt growth. Even in bad years they'll take money.

I would encourage everyone to manage there own money. It's not hard and I'm not having my pension pay for some idiots ferrari.
