    iShares UK Dividend UCITS ETF ( IUKD )

    It's currently yielding 4.51% and a quick scan at the holdings ( it comprises of 55 physically held UK stocks ) matches most of what you currently have.

      Just wondering when to jump into Russia stocks as oil prices are killing them. Also other energy companies.
      My personal view is that I avoid BRIC stocks ( Ok, I've got a small %age think its < 3% )

      I hear the media commentary noise that says these are the "growth areas of the future" but I cannot get over the endemic corruption in China,Russia and India.

      Nor can I shake of the feeling that I believe there is no way that the Reds are running their companies to enrich Western shareholders.

      And a quick look at my portfolio tracker reinforces that view again. I hold the BRIC ETF and it's still down 25% from the point I bought back in 2010.

          Very true.

          But you would only have one set of dealing fees. When you exit your positions you've obviously gonna take a hit with multiple shares to sell.

          Of course you could buy the European or North American equivalent and get a bit of diversification going.

                    Of course! How else would they afford their yachts, hookers and large houses?

                      Allan Roth: I can define investing in eight words. Minimize expenses and emotions. Maximize diversification and discipline. Eight words. Simple, but not easy.

                      Check this -
                      https://personal.vanguard.com/us/ins...-wisdom-122014

                      Consider Vanguard lifestrategy fund or VWRL all-world ETF (I use due to HL charges on funds)

                      My target allocations are as follows:
                      US+Canada 15%
                      Eur 12%
                      AsiaPac 10%
                      Japan 3%
                      UK 49%
                      REIT 3%
                      Emerging 8%

                      Mostly via very diversified low-cost index etf's in SIPP and ISA's. I don't think you should ignore the ROW but by all means bias towards UK due to currency of your expenses.
                      I do have a lot of UK shares but mostly cos I enjoy it, when I do a close comparison I am slightly behind the uk all-share overall, so not worth it from a return POV !

                      Good luck all...
