The ever-onwards march of index-tracking funds
Article Abstract:
Index-tracking funds aim to give investors the performance of its chosen index, minus charges. A report by The WM Company shows that investors in an actively managed fund have around a one-in-four chance of outperforming a tracker. Size is a major advantage for index-trackers, with larger funds spreading the fixed cost of tracking over more investors, but all trackers will suffer in a falling market.

Cautiously bullish: The volatile world of trade options is explained with money-making strategies
Article Abstract:
With the FTSE 100 index where the June 6000 calls (485p) are held, the uptrendline holds against recent selling. This indicates a wide upward swing to the UK equity market which started in October. However institutional investors will find it hard to justify purchasing above 6000. More base-rate cuts, home of economic recovery and more bullish news from Wall Street are required as positive forces.
