Bestinvest says


This is an expensive tracker fund and although it specifically targets the top 100 companies in the UK market, it will largely follow the fortunes of UK market as a whole, as FTSE 100 stocks represent a large portion of the FTSE All Share index. The tracker funds that cover the UK index, generally aim to replicate the FTSE All Share index and there are a number of cheap options available. One of the most cost efficient options is Fidelity Moneybuilder UK Index, which has a total expense ratio of just 0.3%.

Investment process


Tracker funds have an inherent problem as performance fees reduce the margins on performance. Always check the performance fees against similar products before investing in these types of fund.

The value of your investments and the income from them can go down as well as up and you can get back less than you originally invested. Any yields quoted cannot be taken as a reliable indicator of future returns. Before investing in funds please check the specific risk factors on the key features document or refer to our risk warning notice as some funds can be high risk or complex. Prevailing tax rates and relief are dependent on your individual circumstances and are subject to change.
