    Not really, VGS is my core international holding and is 60% US. I don't want further allocation there above cap weighting.
    I'll consider adding small cap US or emerging markets if I feel the need to diversify my international holdings, both via cheap index funds. I want my core holdings in VAS and VGS at a certain level before any action one way or the other will happen. I do have some diversity in a couple of LICs for out of index exposure and more consistent dividends

    That's me though, I have a longer runway and might have drastically different goals. I know I see things in a different light to twisted and that's fine.

    as of 2017 a DRP scheme is no longer a deal breaker for me

    i participate in several plans and recently consider if ( or not ) to only partially participate in new additions to the portfolio in the DRP



    in 2020 i will reassess and i suspect will switch several to 50% DRP

    please take care ( and sorry i can not be of more help )

    i prefer to select my small caps individually and some of my LICs cover that area as well
