Seeking Advice - Investment - Balancing Risk and Reward

Thanks so much @Sovereign_Hunter_999 and @dunstonh for your further comments re my question/"challenge" .  Much appreciated. I research industries & categories for a living, identify white space and growth opportunities for brands.  HOWEVER, I feel totally exposed in the financial space, even moreso when it's linked to my own growth agenda.  I will absolutely review all advice and risks associated.  Thanks again.

That is not good quality investing for a UK-domiciled investor.     A global tracker would be more suitable for the equity allocation but its unclear if the OP can handle a high risk 100% equities approach.

The OP has had a defined benefit scheme and no indication that they have ever used risk based investments.  So, jumping 100% into a global tracker, let alone a single country tracker, is unlikely to be suitable.

@Albermarle truly appreciate your comment, thank you.  I'm absolutely just exploring at the moment, and all advice is welcome whilst I get my head around my next move.  I think I've only achieved 3 posts to date since officially becoming a forum member "Newbie" status.  I expect, nobody in their right mind would listen to my advice on a topic, unless a super "risk taker"!    I will keep you all updated on my strategy/progress in regards to my question.
