Legg Mason Japan, eh? Then we need three categories: passive, active and hyperactive.

Yes agreed. I am 2 and a half years in at the moment and although its made me just shy of 60% in that time its not a relaxing ride - its only about 5% of my equities though. I bought it on a large dip and will probably sell it in the next couple of years. Then I will be 50 and there are surely rules about that kind of stuff at that age!

100% passive in my LISA & S/S isa.
My only active funds is/are Artemis Global Growth & a property fund which holds direct property so I'm counting that as active, both in my pension alongside 3 other passive funds.

I am not against passive funds. I am for appropriate funds to meet ones objectives and implement ones strategy. A fund's performance primarily depends on what it invests in. My strategy requires careful management of the portfolio asset allocation (what the funds invest in) with respect to geography, sector and company size for equities. This is not possible with market capitalisation (company size) weighted funds such as most of those based on indexes.

People with a different strategy or no strategy at all may decide on a different choice of funds and fund type.

I am roughly 50% passive (VLS) and 50% active (income portfolio).

Linton, I know that your 3 portfolios have different objectives, but I was just wondering, overall what average total return percentage would you expect or hope for going forward.

100% passive at present

Reviewing now - Brexit/sterling/home market + business cycle mind games

Global equities ethical tracker (tracks FTSE 4 Good Global) -
White label but L&G aka LGIM fund underneath

It was a proxy I picked due to a limited fund selection for global equities prior to moving platform. I like the concept of ethical but am not persuaded by the definition of "sin" stocks so that's not the main reason why I chose it - wanted passive global equities as a holding fund to reduce my UK exposure

A bit obscure - so I am probably sat on some risk I don't fully understand as well as the general risk/reward/volatility of holding given equity weight.

I dont hope for or expect any particular % return. Like baking a loaf all one can do is to provide the right ingredients, what actually happens is out of ones hands. The financial plan determines the base requirements for the set of portfolios as a whole which are to halve investment capital values in real terms over the next 25 years and to generate a steady income of £12K per year in current real terms. An analysis of actual performance against these requirements determines the % of wealth allocated to each portfolio and to major discretionary spending.



OK, I do have a fun target for the growth portfolio to outperform VLS100, but that is for personal satisfaction rather than financial necessity.

6 SMITHSON INVESTMENT TRUST 9.7%

Just under 40% at the moment. I have reduced the number of holdings increasing the passive, as I only have £50k invested it wasnt worth the effort.

Now its just global equities 60%, 20% in smaller cos and EM, 10% UK for a bit of home bias and 10% RIT for a bit of wealth preservation
