Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Most tracker funds seem to track the UK market and have been following the market's growth of around 15 per cent for the past few years. There appear to be some European trackers that have achieved much better returns than this, so should I go for one of those instead ?

The Fool responds: It is important to realise that different European countries are at different points in their economic cycles - inflation, interest rates, company earnings, and many other things need to be considered to make a fair comparison. Re-cent good performance in some European trackers does not necessarily mean that they will continue to perform well. It is pretty much impossible to call. Don't forget that exchange rates are important too.
