Hi guys - looking for an opinion as I know there is a wealth of knowledge here on this platform.
I have been investing for a fair amount of time, with the majority of capital in my portfolio allocated to an actively managed investment fund - Alliance Trust ($ATST (-0,94 %) ) - now called Alliance Witan (ALW) after merger but does not show on getquin.
I am however lacking expertise on ETF portfolios and would love some speculation into my consideration.
I’m wanting to create a long term ETF portfolio with moderate risk. I’m thinking of setting the majority to $VWCE (-0,44 %) around (80%) but am interested to hear any other ETFs you guys know of that pair well? I do like to keep simplicity as I found it has generated the greatest returns for me in the past, however I do like to include a small amount of more ‘riskier’ investments in my portfolio. I was considering adding 10% $XDWT (-0,7 %) - but thought this might be too tech heavy and dependant. I’d love to hear anyones suggestions on potential ETFs to include.
Im thinking of using the capital from ($ATST (-0,94 %) / ALW). This would be the sole funding of the ETF.
The amount I’m going to be using to invest in this ETF is around £18,000 as I want this ETF to be separate.
What would your opinions be on:
Selling £18,000 shares of (ATST/ALW) to use in an ETF Mix?
The risk/reward trade off between (ATST/ALW) and VWRA long term?
Potential alternative ETFs or combinations?
Whether or not to lump sum £18,000 or DCA?
Any precautions Trumps 4 years will bring to this investment choice?
Really appreciate any opinions! :)
