Passive investing
Tracker funds can help investors diversify their portfolios and offer the possibility of long-term positive returns on a cost-effective basis. We believe passive investment is anything but passive, and that the impact of the global economic recovery and the Retail Distribution Review will see more interest in index tracking vehicles. Our Fund Managers aim to minimise costs and risks inherent in tracking an index via a rigorous investment process.
