Wots your current portfolio spread ?

By IMA sector:

UK equity: 6.6% (4% equity income, 0.6% small cap)
Europe excluding UK: 2.7% (2.1% large, 0.6% small)
Far east excluding Japan: 10% (of which 5% is China)
Emerging markets: 4.8%
Specialist: 11.3% (emerging markets)
Global growth: 12.5%
Cash: 54%
No fixed interest, direct US (is via global growth) or direct Japan.

The non-cash portion is speculative, above high, risk with lots of emerging market exposure and an assumed drop potential of 30% or more. Very highly exposed to emerging markets and via them to raw materials. Some funds could drop in value by 50% or more in a few days.

I think you're spread is very sensible atm, obviously investments are suffering atm but the large cash position should allow you to cherry pick some good entry points - if only there was a crystal ball :cool:
