STANLIB Index - Domestic equity general - Media Comment14 Jun 2006
Stanlib Index (SI), which tracks the all share index (Alsi), comes into its own when resource shares run. But SI has done a poor tracking job over the 12 months to May 5, its 66,96% return trailing the Alsi's 75,08% by an unacceptable margin. As index funds go, SI's 5,7% upfront fee and 0,57% annual fee also make it dear. A cheaper option is Gryphon's All Share Tracker, which has no upfront fee and a 0,35% annual fee.
