Looking at one of your replies from 2 years ago. You said an actively managed fund is good if you dont want to spend time looking at it. So the index trackers you spoke of means you have to keep looking at them. Why? I thought you invest your money and leave them for a few years to give them a chance?

You also said the blackrock was good for people with a lenthy amount of time on their hands to invest and are not too bothered about it going up and and down, and then becoming more cautious as you become older. I suppose you could only start to become cautious when the particular high risk you fund you have is on the up? If its on the down, you may have to wait some years for to start rising before moving to a more cautious fund?
