Tracker Shares
Tracker shares mirror the fortunes of an index of shares, such as the FTSE 100 or S&P 500. They combine the benefits of a fund - instant diversification as your risk is spread across a whole sector - with the benefits of a share, in that they're easy to buy and sell and you receive dividends.
They are good for diversifying into many shares at the same time rather than 'putting all your eggs in one basket'. This can reduce risk. It is unlikely that an index, such as the FTSE 100 will ever fall to nil, whereas company shares can.
