  • Aren't you lucky! Don't forget to increase your charitable giving: no earthly investment can match treasure in heaven.

    SP 500, Russell 2000 , Russell 3000 . There's numerous options to obtain a high US exposure. 
  • Vanguard FTSE Global All Cap is nearly 60% USA exposure, and that's a very vanilla 100% equity global index fund.
    Why do you want high USA exposure? US equities are very highly priced currently compared to most of the rest of world.

    HSBC FTSE All-world is cheap at 0.13% if you are on a cheap platform.

    Perhaps worth sharing what you're already invested in, if this is (understandably) going to influence your next move, unless you're literally saying that you're after a US-only equity fund, no more and no less?

    On what basis did you select your existing investments and how have your criteria changed since then?
