Bargain hunt: cheap trackers that don’t scrimp on performance
29 Mar 18
Not all FTSE All-Share trackers are priced equally and the costliest passive exposure comes from the Virgin UK Tracker with a whopping 1% charge. Click through the gallery below for the five cheapest funds on offer and help investors get more for less.
iShares UK Equity Index
0.06% ongoing charge
The £10.5bn fund is the largest fund in the top five and deservedly so. Launched in 2005, the tracker is the top performing over three and five years delivering 6.07% and 7.32% annualised returns net of fees respectively, according to Morningstar.
Compare that to the most expensive FTSE All Share tracker on offer, the Virgin UK Tracker, which charges 1% and has returned 4.85% and 6.23% annualised over three and five years respectively. The iShares fund has therefore delivered annualised outperformance of 122 basis points and 109 basis points over each respective period.
