    A tracker fund just tracks the stock market. In the vast majority of cases they perform better than actively managed funds over 5, 10, 15, 20 etc periods.

    To ensure you don't put your eggs in one basket you make sure your tracker funds each follow a different stock market.

    If you search this forum through Google you will find loads of tips on what provider to use and what funds that are worth considering to use.

    Ta, a less silly pension future awaits!.

    One review of PensionBee said the same thing could be done cheap as a "DIY pension".

    I also see there is a minimum monthly of £200 with the cavendish FundSupermarket (which is what I meant to refer to originally, however I see as with life insurance they do discount managment fees on a couple of regular pensions too)
    We have lots of posts about pensions and the consensus is to:
    1. Sign up with a SIPP provider
    2. Use tracker funds spread globally to keep costs down.

    You may then need to change the SIPP provider when your pension gets larger.
