I'm just having a look at what i already have invested. I have some CTY. Part of me thinks that instead of CTY i should buy into a low cost FTSE tracker.
Reasons;
CTY doesnt accumulate so i have to reinvest when i think prudent to do so,hopefully on the dips,which involves some cost
Potentially CTY costs more to invest in
CTY is not as widely diversified as a FTSE tracker which could be seen as good or not so good depending on your view.
I dont need income right now and may not need it for 10 years or more. My SIPP is essentially running as a tax management vehicle at the moment though of course i want a good return also..
All comments welcome,,with thanks

Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

If you don't need the income and are incurring trade fees to reinvest dividends then I would go for a low cost, total return and globally diversified accumulation fund such as the HSBC FTSE All World.0

yes i need to have a think about it. My current strategy is to auto reinvest the divi on the dips and take the cash when its in the green..Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..0

CTY is a good income IT but I wouldn't use it for growth especially if it incurs costs to reinvest that income0
