Analyse my ISA portfolio please?

Tiglath

Hi all - I've been repositioning my ISA based on 3 existing holdings which I will continue to buy monthly, and a projected further 6 holdings submitted for dealing tomorrow. I've gone for a mix of passive and active, equities and bonds, but I'm wondering though if I'm doubling up on some exposures, and could ditch some for a bit more variety:

Weight % - Holding

3.1% - Aberdeen UK Mid Cap Equity I Acc (ongoing monthly)
13.2% - BlackRock GF Sust Egy D4 £
10.8% - BlackRock Gold & General DI Acc
10.9% - L&G All Stocks Gilt Index Tst C Acc
10.9% - L&G Global Real Estate Div Ix I Acc
18.6% - Lindsell Train Global Equity D (ongoing monthly)
10.9% - Sarasin Food & Agri Oprts P Acc
10.9% - Vanguard LifeStrategy 100% Eq A Acc (ongoing monthly)

The asset allocation according to Trustnet is:

Asset Classes Total(%)
Commodity & Energy 23.3
Property 10.9
UK Gilts 10.9
US Government Fixed Interest 10.8
UK Equities 10.8
Equities 10.1
US Equities 6.2
North American Equities 4.9
Japanese Equities 4.4
Other Holdings 7.6

The sectors (again according to Trustnet) are:

Sectors Total(%)
Government Bonds 21.4
Financials 14.8
Consumer Staples 13.5
Gold 9.7
Industrials 5.7
Communications 5.0
Alternative & Renewable Energy 4.4
Consumer Discretionary 4.1
Materials 3.7
Other Holdings 17.6

Open to suggestions - this is 'play money' that I can afford to lose. I'm constrained from individual equities and ETFs/ITs because of work's personal account dealing policy, and I can't be bothered with the need to get approval, so I've just gone for funds.

It seems very theme heavy, which is not necessarily a criticism if that's what you were aiming for and you're willing to accept the risk of such an approach.

What is the rationale for having 2 parts LTGE to 1 part VLS 100?

Simply because I've been investing in LTGE for a year, and have only just gone into VLS 100 - I want to compare performance between active and passive for that. Yes, I accept the risk levels in the portfolio - I'm interested to see what Brexit etc does to the performance. As I said, it's money I can afford to lose

It looks fairly Brexit-proofed to me. Neither your UK nor European exposure is overweight, and Brexit is of little global significance.

You probably won't like my feedback, as it's not much fun, but I don't see why so many people need to play asset manager when there is a good choice of low cost multi asset funds available. You haven't said why you have conviction that this mix will perform better?
