Share allocation

A question about : Share allocation

Hi All,

I would welcome some view on the following asset allocation. I am no expert when it comes to this sort of stuff so want something passive over the short-medium term (8-10 years). No particular aim in mind apart from putting away spare cash in S&S ISA rather than a saving account. Looking at around Ј700 pcm drip feed as follows:

Woodford: 45%
Vanguard LifeStrategy80: 45%
Vanguard Emerging Markets: 10%

Does the above seem too simple? What am I missing?

Best answers:

• Does the strategy include bond investments? A rule of thumb is 60:40, equity:debt.
• It is likely to be quite a bumpy ride, but it depends on how happy you are with that really.
