How Many Funds

Hi, i have just switched my epp to a sipp, before retiring soon to france, having done more research it seems i will be better off investing in france with the rest of my wealth but i have 80k in the sipp that i can't do anything about, how many funds should i invest in,(for income)

Am i right in thinking the more funds the greater the charges,

I can't do much with these other than what's available on h, lansdowns site, or could i create a hyp and would this be more economic than a few funds from an investment point of view, obviously risk is another matter i will address seperately .thanks.

    No. Its percentage based on value. Not quantity of holdings.
