alternative to vanguard but without UK exposure

xyz123

hi

i have some money in vanguard 60%. I am looking for some more alternative for additional funds (circa £5k). Aim is to keep it in market for 10 years. i am looking for alternatives to vanguard as i feel that vanguard has too much UK exposure which in my opinion is not good for next 2 years....

so does anyone know off any similar low value multi index funds but without so much UK exposure...(i am not asking for recommendation just information...)

Take a look at the HSBC Global Strategy Dynamic fund (they also have a Balanced fund). These funds have less UK exposure and have performed well. Take a look at Trustnet for performance figures.

Vanguard does have other funds some of which exclude the UK.

You could buy the funds which make up LifeStrategy manually. It is made up of 4 index funds, you can can drill down into the international equities one (VGTSX) to reduce the UK equity exposure.

The downside is you will now have to regularly rebalance by hand to maintain the same level of risk.

Upside is you get the portfolio you want and save a little on fees since LifeStrategy charges a small premium.

Although what you are asking is possible, it is important to question whether an opinion you hold on 'whats going to happen in the next 2 years' should result in laborious and potentially counter-productive modifications to your portfolio.
