    I do not think you need to worry about Vanguard, Black Rock, Fidelity, HSBC etc. I have a seven figure sum with Vanguard. Platforms do fail occasionally, but (so far) not the likes of Vanguard, Fidelity, and HSDL, who all have big parents to bail them out anyway.

    I could switch it into HSBC Global Balanced but what I'd really like is something that's more of a 70/30 ideally with a more or less global asset allocation rather than a UK bias.
    HSBC GS Balanced floats up to 67% at times.  Its not a rigid allocation.

    Thanks dunston that makes sense.

    Appreciate it's a generic question but would you see any issue with the whole pot being in that one fund?

    I can't help but think I'm approaching it differently due to it being split across a GIA and an ISA to how I'd approach it if it were all in one account.

    Which doesn't really make sense.
