Yes Baillie Gifford roughly halved their holdings in Tesla a couple of months ago.

Hasn’t stopped the SMT share price falling off a cliff!

for us long term holders, they built their own mountain, so a small decent doesnt matter too much in the big picture. 

Only 27% fall so far off peak share price so far. It's only money so who cares. 

And the odds are it will fall further. but at 5% of my portfolio, and not being a person who can time the market, I can live with this. Back in the day we were down circa 60% off highs at one point. 

An active fund isn't tracking the market though.  You would need to hold a passive investment of some kind to achieve that.  

80% of my holdings are in Vanguard 80:20, which I thought was reasonable. The rest are in smaller satellite funds. Happy to be advised if this seen as inapproptate these days as a strategy (late 30's, no dependents, overpaying mortgage and into pension)

Is that your ISA? Depends on the time horizon you are looking to withdraw. If u don’t need the funds for 10+ years, 100% equities is recommended. If it’s pension, all equities recommended until 10 years before your retirement.

Highly unlikely that the most heavily traded stock in the world should be excluded from any index (S&P500 and Nasdaq here) but the sheer volume in Tesla is disconcerting for the whole market, at least to me.  Yesterday $46 billion of stock was traded. To put that is perspective, a year ago, Tesla was valued at c $100 billion.
