How Many funds are too many?

For balanced at that value I would skip multi asset funds and anything expensive and put 60% in HSBC FTSE All World (0.16%) and 40% in Vanguard Global Bond Fund Hedged (0.15%). Then rebalance with new contributions. iWeb might be cost effective if you have the full £20k at the start of each tax year.0

Yes, K.I.S.S. This is my sort of portfolio.“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”0 -

Yes thought you might like it. Basicly gives you VLS60 with lower average OCF and transaction costs and no UK bias on the equities but still the currency hedging stability on the bonds.

What asset allocation model are you working to achieve? I cant see an obvious one from your selection. Or is it all b it random? (be honest, if it is)
Yes it is a bit random (picked from various "ones to watch" lists)
If its £1000 pm (and not £500k) then you only need one multi-asset fund.
Yes a £1000 at that moment (waiting on a house sale for the bulk)
Your spread overall doesnt quite fit your risk profile as you call it. You may like it but do you accept the volatility that goes with it? I like it too as a fund. However, on portfolios I have included it, I have had to adjust the weightings in other areas to counter the increased risk. As the US is unlikely to be the best area in the next cycle, is it worth doing that? (I said no on my portfolios but that is just my opinion).
Yes, from your comments I'll let the Baillie Gifford drop to much lower % of the whole, it does give the US a far greater weighting than I had realized.
Once again thanks for your comments, I'm learning with each step. :T0 -
