Westpac BlueChip20

[HerbMac]

Hi, I'm considering this product for my son to start his investment into the share market where he can make an initial investment and monthly contributions - havn't considered the gearing side. I've done a search at this forum but can't anything. Would appreciate what people think of this product? or please direct me to reviews, similar products, or similar discussions. Thanks

Just a thought, the prices on the blue chips have run fairly hard in recent times compared to the smaller caps. With a long term view maybe the large caps will underperform compared to the small caps. The Americans had a period like this when everyone was investing in the 'nifty fifty'.

Size arbitrage is not sound investment advice, robusta. You have no way of knowing which end of the market will perform best in the future.
