My plan/approach is to have tracker funds (including a VLS 60) make up about 85% of my portfolio. The VLS will make up about 73%/85%. I've left the rest to research and play with (15% in other equity funds the VLS doesn't cover like China etc).

I think Bowlhead has given some pretty sound advice: Either you do research or you stick it all in a VLS

Any suggestions on China fund?

Also can anyone point out to me where I can see P/E ratings for funds on trust.net? I can't find it... sorry for being slow

Good question!

Was looking for some lowest risk funds, would we agree VLS 20 is the lowest of the low? Any other suggestions?

There are lots of good free websites out there to analyse fund data. My favourite is the YouInvest Fund Quickranker but I would usually do a lot of research on many sites before making any trades.

Would you care to share you research approach?

I don't claim to have a unique approach to research and I am by no means a quantitative analyst using complex mathematical and statistical modelling. Like many DIYers my approach is to assess as much information as possible from a variety of sources, read opinion and critically assess to determine the best path forward.
