UK investors: what's a good broad based index fund?

Post by dualstow » Fri Jan 22, 2021 3:41 pm

The equivalent of VTSAX at vanguard or FSKAX at fidelity, but holding UK equities and in the UK?

If you mean UK-only then you probably need to find a FTSE All Share Index tracker.

HSBC FTSE All Share Index Fund is one - Vanguard FTSE UK All Share Index is another. Also:

Legal & General UK Index
Fidelity Index UK

Many thanks.

Yes, I'm looking for something UK-only, something that a person living in the UK would buy for a British PP, following Harry's guideline of buying domestic equities.

I suppose they could add a global fund. I'll look for that, too.
