The FTSE 100 has become unloved and unwanted by an increasing number of investors.
I guess you can’t really blame them. After all, the FTSE 100 has grown from 6,900 in 1999 to 7,500 today, which is less than a 10% capital gain over 22 years.

To rub salt into this particular wound, US stocks have gained more than 200% over those same 22 years, as has the UK housing market.
