I would definitely go for a low-cost tracker. Main decision is what you want to track, either the UK stock market (ie FTSE) or a global index.
We have a Vanguard FTSE tracker for our daughter. @Matt101 's option is a global one. 'Global' basically means a lot of US, a bit of Europe and a sliver of emerging markets. Either makes sense.

Here's the reasoning behind investing in an all-world fund instead of just one area or geography i.e. FTSE or S&P or tech: I believe I have no edge over the financial markets.

What's a good fund/ETF pick for a little one's ISA with Fidelity, which won't be touched for at least 18 years from now?
