Hi everyone, it’s my second post in this group (thanks for your comments and advice on my previous post)
I’m fairly new to investing and have recently opened a Stocks & Shares ISA. I’ve currently got £2,500 invested in VWRP and plan to invest regularly for the long term.
Originally I was considering individual stocks, but I’ve decided I’d rather build a strong ETF foundation first.
I’m considering keeping VWRP as around 90% of my portfolio and putting around 10% into a global small-cap ETF such as iShares MSCI World Small Cap (WSML/WLDS).
My thinking is that VWRP already gives me global large and mid-cap exposure, while the small-cap ETF would add exposure to companies that aren’t well represented in VWRP, rather than adding something like an S&P 500 ETF that would create a lot of overlap.
Would a 90/10 VWRP/global small-cap split make sense, or would you keep things simple and stick with 100% VWRP?
Or is there any other ETFs you’d recommend I look into adding into my portfolio? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

UK-based investor, not a professional. Investing for growth with a roughly 3–5 year horizon.
- 70% VWRP — Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF (Acc)
- 15% VXUS — Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US UCITS ETF (Acc)
- 10% WLDS — iShares MSCI World Small Cap UCITS ETF (Acc)
- 5% SGLN — iShares Physical Gold ETC
Idea: global core + slight ex-US tilt + small-cap tilt + small gold hedge. (50-50 Us/non-US)
What do you think of this allocation? Would you change or simplify anything?
Any obvious overlap or unnecessary exposure?
