PS: As I see it the downside of my ETF is it costs about the full price of the underlying assets, wheras my Investment Trust shares can be bought for less than the price of the underlying assets. But there is a good reason for that - the Investment Trust management expenses are higher.“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” --Upton Sinclair0 -

It is always different this time. The only thing that is the same is the outcome.
Portfolios are like personalities - one that is balanced is usually preferable.
