I also hold Polymetal and Fresnillo. Purely out of interest what price was you able to buy in with Polymetal. I bought in twice at 1579.00 and then at 1536.00.

This purchase was at £ 15.742775. 

Previously bought at an average price of £15.42 and sold out at £17.93 around a month later in early 2021.  Had no plans to flip the stock but needed to free up cash for another investment.

Jarvis was top sliced when the price hit £3.55p, banking a 186% capital gain in just under 4 years. (Though in my actual portfolio I've held the share for nearly a decade now).  I know the company well now and have attended the AGM 3 times. 

I have subscription access to share screens. Which provide a usefull base point for research. Then track a number of individual shares and wait for an opportune moment to buy. Many shares do pass me by though.  

Other than the above. Read a lot, listen, watch, attend. I've been an investor in Investment Trusts and Investment Companies for a very long time. These in themselves often hightlight potential opportunities for individual shares to research further.

Prism

Prism Global - 31/10/2021

Fundsmith - 45.8%
Fundsmith Emerging Markets - 13.1%
Smithson - 10.3%
Royal London Sustainable Leaders - 10%
Gresham House Micro Cap - 8.2%
SDL Free Spirit - 7.1%
HarbourVest Global Private Equity - 2.8%
Chrysalis Investments - 2.7%

Reduced the holdings in Smithson and RL Sustainable Leaders after a recent good run, partly to bring them back into line with my desired weights of around 10% each. Added some more private equity in the form of HVPE and began a new holding to cover smaller companies - SDL Free Spirit.

General points
   UK allocation is now above 30% and US is down to 44%. 
   Standard deviation is typically around 10% and the majority of the funds are classed as below average or low risk by Morningstar.
   Pretty close to my desired split of 50% developed markets large caps and 50% everything else.

 - Balance large/small companies in all geographies
 - Reduce % of US tech giants.
