Should i add to this portfolio?

cashbackproblems

Hi

I currently have started investing monthly into these below funds and am happy to take risk and hold long term but would it be worth adding a ftse tracker like HSBC FTSE All Share Index? And how do you find this on HL as i cant find any trackers which i can add to monthly!?


First State Latin America Accumulation
JPM Natural Resources Accumulation
Aberdeen Emerging Markets Accumulation
Invesco Perpetual High Income Accumulation
Neptune Russia & Greater Russia (Class A) Accumulation

thanks

Hi Lizzie,

1. Any special reason you don't also do the Pacific and/or Japan trackers for diversification?

I am quite happy with the managed funds that I have in the Pacific Region (Aberdeen, First State, Fidelity). As for Japan, I seem to have done nothing but lose money! I use managed funds at the moment but I am reviewing the matter.

2. Do you know why H-L gives separate Inst and Ret flavours for these trackers when you add them to charts, but not when you go to buy them?

Don't know. Possibly they buy in the analysis from a third party provider. But when it comes to selling, they should only offer one. The only difference between them, as far as I can see, is the management charge. But I'm guessing. One for dunstonh et al!

3. Do you know if the rumoured impending doom of bundled platforms would impact on these products?

Another for dunstonh et al.
