    A tracker is any one of a number of stock market investments that broadly track a section of the market; essentially, you chuck in your money and the fund splits it between a number of different companies for you. If you had a FTSE100 tracker, your money would be split between shares in the companies in the FTSE100.

    Over the long term, the stockmarket does better than straight savings and property.
