VLS100 is already very diversified in equities.......you might think about some fixed income/cash“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”0 -

Sorry for my stupidity but by fixed income you mean bonds? I'm not keen on bonds atm but have come to recognise there are obviously different types. Any particular fund you'd recommend0 -
Seeing as you’re happy with the equity allocation of Lifestrategy 100 and wanting a bond fund, then swapping over to Lifestrategy 80 could be a simple solution.0

If you want to reduce volatility an intermediate term (5 to 10 years average maturity) bond fund can help. But as with equities only buy for the long term. Bond funds are probably going to fall in price for a few years so plan to reinvest interest and stay with them for the long haul. The VLS funds with bond allocations might be useful.“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”0
