Recommend an index fund

Fremen

I'm probably going to need a deposit for a house in about five years' time. I have a decent amount of cash from an SSIA, which I put into Quinn Life's freeway funds. I recently closed my account with Quinn because of all the shenanigans going on there. They've told me Quinn Life is a seperate company with ring-fenced assets, but the way I see it, you can't be too careful.

I'm looking for an alternative to Quinn now. I'm not really keen on actively managed funds, since their fees tend to be a bit high. I've looked at Rabodirect, but I'm not crazy about the enterance and exit charges they impose alongside fund management fees. I was happy with the 1% to 1.5% that Quinn were charging.

Does anyone know of a company that offers exposure to a stock index with minimal fees, ideally where I can make regular small investments?

Thanks for your help.

How bad are Rabos fees as a matter of interest? Did you see a Rabofund in that other thread that you liked the look of?

I did this survey of charges/comparison in Oct. '07. It's slightly dated but it's not a million miles off the mark.

It may help you with your research.

.75% to get in or out, with typically 1.5% annual charge, though this depends on the fund.

Don't invest money you can't afford to lose.
Stick it in sometinh like an ulsterbank esaver and forget it.
