As in ... Is it what most people would go for when buying shares?

I agree the fees can be high and certainly need to be taken into consideration against potential returns, but there are a vast range of funds available and many of them perform very well. They can also give access to markets otherwise not accessible to an individual investor.
I don't disagree that the Tracker Fund is a good option in a lot of senses, but I think it's important that the OP knows what they're getting into before jumping in - in the event of a double dip recession, for example (though personally I can't see that happening), they may find themselves in a much worse position than they were expecting! Not saying a fund would do any better, but I think it's important to look at all the options to make an informed decision; for example, bonds might be a better option if looking for something lower risk.
Nucleus... everyone has different investment goals so that is a difficult question to answer, but something like the Tracker Fund would certainly be a popular choice as it is fairly straightforward to invest in and gives you access to a whole basket of shares rather than just one, which spreads your risk over different industries.
I plan to save for 1 year then use that savings to buy into thus fund. Hopefully in 3 years time I should be able to get a nice return.

Maybe you will or maybe you won't - that's the problem with investing in shares - you may lose half your money or more. There are much safer investments around, but only earning 2 or 3% per year at the moment.
Yes, there is no should when investing in the stock market. That's why I recommend you seek some professional advice. If you are looking for something with a guaranteed return, this might not be the right product for you.
I'm not trying to put you off - you could do very well investing in such a fund - just remember, people can and do lose a lot of money on the stock market, and if you are not prepared to take that risk, you should maybe look at other options as well.
If fact I want something with fast and big return ... Within 1-3 months
