Let's hope any crash is not so bad that those companies fail  but yes, it's probably as safe as you can get without going to gilts.

If I include all stocks, S&P 500 UCITS & proportion of FTSE Developed World ex-UK, im
down to around 35 % of my equities  & around 15% of my overall portfolio , but I'm in retirement now.

Thank you all for the responses to my original question.

The main takeaways for me are to research Index Linked Gilts and to look at moving further from the Mag 7 using a Value fund.

I m not sure if my reduction in US equities has been in the extreme but that is what I’m comfortable with so I’m sticking with it!

I have been a long time lurker on this forum and I am so grateful to the regular posters who have helped me become a more confident DIY investor.

If looking at ETf rather than stocks, then videos like this highlight dividend ones for UK as an alternative option to reduce Mag 7.
