ISA Portfolio Review

Hello all,  I would greatly appreciate the thoughts of all the gurus here on my fund and shares ISA with HL.  I am aiming for growth long term and all I can think to do is this crazy market is to sit tight.

    Far too much duplication.  Your choice of investments and money allocated seem completely arbitrary. Why £3.5K in AZ but only £240 in GSK? Why do you need 4 European Funds. Since the funds are in alphabetical order I guess there are a fair number missing from the bottom of your list.  Why all the individual holdings?  Why those amounts of money? Do you have an overall strategy?

    It would seem you have £60K-£100K invested.  You should be able be manage perfectly well with less then 10 funds with greater transparency of where you money is held and easier/cheaper management.  Any holding representing less than 5% of your total invested should be checked to see if it is really necessary since it wont make much difference to your overall returns.

    Have you heard of Passive Investing? 


    Unless investing is a hobby you enjoy sell it all and buy 1 fund and forget about it.

    Question is which is the one fund you will buy and forget ?

    I can see 19 holdings, but it looks like the list goes on. You have a stock worth less than £50, several others worth less than £1k. I'd suggest selling the lot and starting afresh, but it's going to be costly in trading fees. A portfolio of this size at HL probably shouldn't feature any shares/ETFs.
  • Way too many funds and stocks to sensibly manage. Get rid of all individual stocks and then see if you can build something using 5 or 10 funds...although 10 is too many for me and shouldn't be necessary. Take a look at multi-asset funds.
