you would be better to just have FTSE all-share tracker in ISA wrapper--(more diversity)poundcost ave monthly into it----when mkt is low you get more shares--when mkt rises so does your investment.overtime with compounding and re-dividends your portfolio will grow nicely.

no point encurring extra fees FTSE 100 -FTSE 250--plus your just repeating your investment in same area.

ETF is just growth not dividends so i would maybe do 20% of porfolio--into a global smaller companies fund

So you recommend something like a weekly drip feed of ISA allowance into all share over a year period, (maybe larger lump sum now and then if opportunities arise), rather than full ISA lump sum in one go? Sounds more reasonable, especially with div growth thrown in. That would be long term growth.

Then use ETF for more short term opportunities should they arise outside of ISA wrapper? Not too clued up on anything other than uk trackers at the mo.

not sure of your financial goals or your financial situation

you can invest £10200 a year in ISA/STOCK/SHARES or cash isa total(dont invest outside isa)



investment is longterm--anything else is speculative-gambling

The 250 includes no stocks that the 100 includes. The 350 includes both

They perform separately over time. 100 is the massive global companies and 250 is the mid sized ones, typically more uk based I think
