FTSE 100 /250 would you, do you invest? Index tracker

I've looked and googled, apparently performance poor, vanguard all share tracker maybe better?.. Or split between 100 and 200?

I've covered US markets and stuff with index trackers but feel I'm too American deep...

I have 4ooo to invest.

I have the HSBC FTSE 250 index. It’s done well for me, up 24%.

Thank you anathema. May I ask how long you have had it and whether you also hold 100.

Im now considering the 250 and vanguard all share UK index.

Very valid question but I can’t remember. A few years, definitely. I also have the Legal & General UK 100 Index Trust. That’s up 11% but I’ve only held that for a couple of years. You can see the growth if you check past performance. Just make sure you choose trackers with very low fees.

Anathema thank you.

I'm not great at reading tables, but can see it's gone up but tricky to compare the two... I've read 250 always has more wiggle room than 100... Thank you for replying Smile
