Here’s how much money I’d make if I invested £10k into a FTSE All-Share tracker fund back in 2014. While the FTSE 100 steals most of the headlines, the FTSE All-Share index is a popular alternative. Apart from providing significantly more diversification to a portfolio, the index exposes investors to a wider range of opportunities. But has it actually been a better performer?

How have FTSE trackers performed?
As per the latest data from FTSE Russell, the FTSE All-Share index has actually delivered slightly higher returns than the FTSE 100 over the last decade. The UK’s flagship index has delivered a total return of 67.9% since 2014. By comparison, the FTSE All-Share comes in at 68.2%.
That means £10,000 invested a decade ago would now be worth £16,820. If this performance were to continue for another 10 years, this investment would grow to £28,650 without any further…
