Hello all, 
Newbie to the site so please bare with me.
I have been looking into the master that is, JL Collins, and taken a liking to his investment process. I would to love to get on board and start investing
but have hit a few hurdles.
I am looking to open an account in the UK at either of the companies below:
Hargreaves Lansdown
or
Cavendish
When I use the above companies search tool neither VTSAX or VBTLX show up.
Could someone give me a few equilavent index funds to use on these platforms?
Apologies if the question comes across as a simple one. I look forward to hearing from you.
Many Thanks,
Mark

Why do you want to go all in on solely American equities and bonds ?
Also, in his latest blog post he gives consideration to going 100% equities for generational investing AND investing outside the US. . How were you proposing to split your investment equities/bonds ?

If you wished to do the same -all equities- you might wish to consider the

But, I think you should do a lot more research and listen to much wiser replies you will get on this thread before going in two footed.0 -
For making a comparable investment from the UK consider investing on the Vanguard Investor platform in either the Vanguard LifeStrategy mixed asset fund series or a 2 fund portfolio with global equities (such as their Global All Cap fund or All World etf) and global bonds (such as their Global Bond Index Hedged fund).
