    Though if we actually do the maths on this, you only need a £200k portfolio for a £10k contribution to increase the pot by a "small single digit" (in this case 5%).

    So it may not actually be that grand in the scheme of things. Certainly to reach £200k over 20, 30 or 40 years (including pensions) is eminently achievable, and in some circumstances possibly quite poor.

    It's even reasonably probable that an IFA may not be interested in such a "largish" pot because several round my way turn their noses up at anything below £250k.
    Not even close :beer:

    When you're worth a bloody fortune, even if you deserve it for your efforts, lots of people who don't even know you will presume you're probably a bit of a jerk and not too smart at all - the politics of envy.

    So, trying to come off as anything other than a bit of a jerk is a complete waste of time. You're best just to embrace it and build your online persona around being wealthy and not the sharpest tool in the shed.

    I've just ignored my full ISA allowance, when you get to a largish portfolio, it's meaningless to buy in anything less than £20k in my case because it would be such a small 0.001 percentage of my total sum. So i only invested in Azerbaijan holiday homes and Thule island multi storey car parks.

    I'm sure many of you have the same problem. Makes drip feeding a complete waste of time.
