Tracking the All Share Index - Media Comment26 Apr 2001
The All Share index tracking fund Investec Index (IIF)'s returns highlight poor performances of most discretionary funds. Tracking the index will not always insure superior returns, but it does provide an element of portfolio stability, which in IIF's case comes with the added advantage of low fees. If your wrap fund manager has not had a tracker fund in your portfolio over the past few years, which gauging from IIF's static total assets since 1997 few have, question his judgment.
