Investing Show: Could a smart beta tracker improve your investments?
Smart beta is the new investing buzzword, but what does it mean and is it any better than a simple index tracker?
Hector McNeil, of ETF specialist Wisdom Tree, joins Simon Lambert, of This is Money, on the investing show to explain index investing, exchange traded funds and why some investors prefer to tilt these to try and deliver better returns.
Also on this fortnight's show, Richard Hunter, market strategist, takes a look at the big FTSE 100 drug companies, their dividends and whether poor sentiment in recent times makes them a decent prospect now.
Meanwhile, Nick Batsford, of TipTV, finds some reasons to be cheerful from the investing press.
