    I'm looking to invest in passive funds but it is very hard to find useful information, specifically regarding charges and fees.

    Does anyone have any tips or recommendations?

    Read monevator.com , he has a whole section on passive investing. Focused on UK but same principles apply.

    Boglehead.com has info too (not on charges but ideas/theory of passive)

    I went down ETF route....

    Thanks, I am aware of the background stuff. I should have been clearer.

    I am looking for available/recommended passive funds and actual changes. I've checked a few broker and bank sites but there is no mention of changes that I can find.

    I may also consider ETFs in the future but that is something I don't know much about so I will need to do some reading first.

    vanguard.com? Seems you need a US address to register.

    I've read up a bit on ETFs and I'm going to go down that route instead. It seems to make more sense as there are no fund charges but you still can track an index.
