Virgin direct all shares tracker is one of the best perfoming tracker fund at the moment. While during the last few months many tracker has fell into -ve territory, Virgin still manged to stay a float with a 0% change. Also, the management cost of Virgin direct is extremely low, just amounted to 1% and with negligible further mangement and advise charges.

The not only offers good value, good performance but also low management cost. Lots of growth could be hampered by a high management and 'advice' charges as the money that goes in earlier
during the investment is those that will grow most, but these advise/mangement charges are usually deducted fairly heavily in the first few years of the investment.

Further, their advisors are friendly and efficient. Their website also provide a call back button to save the user from having to be put on a long waiting telephone queue.
