The long term returns are a joke. No wonder not even UK based companies want to IPO in London anymore.

FTSE 100 has returned 5.5% in last 5 years and a poxy 23% since 2001.

Almost as terrible as being invested in gold!





Global trackers are the way to go. Agree you'd have to be a bit thick to invest in a FTSE100 tracker but disagree in the concept of trackers being poor investment vehicles - for a passive investor a global tracker is about as good an investment as you can get assuming fees are low.
