    Linton Growth - 24/11/2021

    Schroder QEP US Core -- 24.0%
    Fidelity European Dynamic -- 23.7%
    Artemis US Smaller Companies -- 18.1%
    ASI European Smaller Companies -- 9.8%
    Matthews Asian Small Companies -- 9.1%
    Baillie Gifford EM Leaders -- 9.0%

    The objectives of the reorganisation were:
     - Reduce number of funds to minimum
     - Balance large/small companies in all geographies
     - Reduce % of US tech giants.
    @Linton, interested to know how you often you rebalance and change funds in your growth portfolio?

    Ah, you've caught me out.   I am currently changing about every 6 months when I find a better way of meeting my desired equity asset allocation.  In this latest change I achieved a better allocation with 2 fewer funds, which must be as far as I can go in that direction.  It's more about lock down boredom than any deep investment strategy.

    Normally I would rebalance once a year just before the end of the tax year.  That is when I make major cash movements which would lead to changes in the investments.
