Why not buy an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) and avoid that?
HSBC, Vanguard, Blackrock, all do FTSE100 ETFs with annual charges below 0.1% <----Noooooo !
HSBC Euro 50 is only 0.05%

Buy something like HMWO which is global and diversified across multiple sectors, unlike FTSE100.

Yes I agree. But look at the original question.

I am trying to work out the best was to invest in a tracker fund. Probably the Legal and General FTSE 100 Tracker.

If the OP wants to invest in the FTSE100 (and he may be right) I was just saying there are cheaper ways of doing it.

at 0.15% its great value. I wonder why it isn't more popular (only £121m invested) https://markets.ft.com/data/etfs/tearsheet/summary?s=HMWO:LSE:GBX
I can only guess HSBC were late in cutting their prices so all the money had already gone to the likes of ishares and Vanguard?

Don't encourage him!! It's like showing someone a cheaper way to stab themselves in the eye.

Where do you buy an ETF without incurring some kind of fee?

There are initial fees but low or no ongoing fees at some brokers. HL for example.
