Why invest in index-tracking funds?

Index funds are a simple and cost-effective way to invest in the stockmarket. They allow your clients to share in the performance of a market index, without concerns about picking the right stocks or choosing the right fund manager. 

Index investing aims to capture the returns from the stockmarket by creating a portfolio that closely matches a specific index – such as the FTSE All-Share Index, which represents the combined performance of all the companies on the London Stock Exchange.

The value of investments can fall as well as rise and is not guaranteed. Your clients may get back less than they invested.
