    yes, I am thinking of investing in a cheap tracker with H L - it is the first time I will have had an investment. Is there any real difference in how a FTSE 100 share tracker and an all share index does at the moment? I cannot make up my mind which to dip my toe into!
    Many thanks

    Not much difference - FTSE-100 companies comprise 80% of the all share.

    I think the best way to reduce risk is to diversify into different sectors, and filter in the money over a number of years.
