£1500 to invest

Hi All

I have £1500 I can afford to invest mid to long term, my bank NatWest has an `adventurous` fund I was thinking of going with, and plan to fund it £50-100 p/m depending 

Is there any other options I could look at

Well aware its peanuts to most! 

Thanks

    1. NatWest says this is an active fund. Most active funds fail to the bet a simple global market index like the FTSE All-World Index.


    2. The On going charge is 0.38% capped at 0.40%, which to me is high for what it does.

    3. As a comparison
    VWRL which is an ETF, that simple follows the 
    FTSE All-World Index only costs 0.22%.
     HMWO which is an ETF that simple follows the MSCI World Index only cost 0.15%.

    While the 
    HSBC FTSE All World Index Fund only charges 0.13%.

    Any of the above could be considered "Adventurous."

    Normally it is better to invest using a Stocks and shares ISA, as it saves tax and admin. ( just in case you were not planning to do that)
