Portfolio check please



Good morning everyone
Hope this is OK to ask.
Just after a portfolio check, currently holding approx 20% of each fund in my private SIPP, I’ve got 10 years until I can start drawing it. I posted in here instead of the pension forum as all the funds can be held in ISA’s too.
I do know it’s tech heavy, which has done well the last couple of years but wondering if it’s still too heavily weighted towards the magnificent 7. Thanks everyone

Possibly one of the highest-risk portfolios of unit-linked investments I have seen in a very long time. Do you accept 90% loss potential?

It could not be much more tech heavy ! ( and pretty US heavy as well)
It is a high risk, potential high growth/loss portfolio. If you are planning to drawdown from it in 10 years, I think it is time to start derisking.2 -
Thank you both.As I said I’ve had good growth the last couple of years and realise that rate of growth can not continue, and have seen it level off with the recent correction. I’m hoping for some advice regarding where to look as part of my derisking, and what others would do.Thanks again0

As I cannot foretell the future, come back in 10 years time & I will let you know.
For now get a low cost passive GLOBAL INDEX fund or ETF. In may or may not beat your portfolio but will save you time, stress and worry. It may even cost you less as well0 -
The above suggestion will keep you at 100% equity which still can be quite volatile, but as it is more spread out over the world/more companies, so it is not as riskily concentrated as your portfolio.
It would still be too risky/volatile for most people, but you seem to have a high risk tolerance.
Maybe when you get closer to withdrawal time, you may want to dilute the equity to less than 100%.0 -
