S & P 500 - All in

#1

Hi there,

I am 31 years old from the UK.

I am:

  • Debt Free.
  • No mortgage. I prefer to rent.
  • Own Rental Properties.
  • Own businesses
  • Own individual Stocks (Only two at the moment)
  • I invest in index funds monthly. (Been doing this for a year so far)

My question is that based on my current situation, would it be far too risky to increase my monthly index fund investment if I were to only invest it into the S&P 500? (VUSA) I am looking to increase this to £2200 per month.

My logic behind this is that I have time on my side, to go through corrections and recessions. BUT worried about not being diversified via country.

Thank you :blush:
Alex

Hi Alex,
If you are worried about your portfolio not being diversified by country, you can always allocate a small percentage of it to non-US stocks. Otherwise, I know plenty of people whose stock portfolio only has US stocks - US companies do get international exposure!
