Funds Investments : Playing FTSE with the stock exchange

by John Doherty on September 17, 2010

Have you ever played FTSE with the idea of a punt on the stock markets?

This could be the ideal time, as Credit Suisse has just launched a new suite of investment funds that include a low-cost FTSE 100 tracker at the rock-bottom price of just 0.33% a year. The fund still offers ‘full replication’ i.e. will buy most or all of the stocks in the FTSE 100, as opposed to adopting a sampling strategy by buying one share in each industry sector on the index.

By taking this replication approach, tracker funds seek to replicate the index – although they are unable to outperform it in the way that actively managed investment funds strive to do.

Nonetheless, given its low cost, and given that on average only a third of actively managed funds do manage to outperform their index in any year, the Credit Suisse FTSE 100 tracker could be worth a look.
