These are the funds that survive both my day-job spreadsheets in Spinningfields and the 11pm ‘can I live with this drawdown?’ test after a gig on Oxford Road. Nothing exotic-for-the-sake-of-it, just a mix of core trackers and a few spicier side bets that don’t make my inner risk manager start waving a red card. Think of this as my actual working playlist, not a greatest-hits fantasy squad.

Funds I Actually Hold — 4 items
Name	Fund type	Domicile	Asset class	Main exposure	Ongoing charges approx	Risk level	Suggested minimum horizon	My take
1Vanguard LifeStrategy 80% Equity Fund	Multi-asset index fund	UK OEIC	Equity-heavy multi-asset	Global equities with small UK tilt plus bonds	0.22% OCF	High-ish but diversified	7–10 years	My boring-but-beautiful core. Like a dependable holding midfielder: not flashy, always on the team sheet.
2Vanguard FTSE Global All Cap Index Fund	Global equity index fund	UK OEIC	Equities	Developed and emerging markets, large to small cap	0.23% OCF	High	8–10 years	If I could only hold one pure equity fund, this would be it. Whole world in one ticket; no arguing over country picks between pints.
3HSBC FTSE All-World Index Fund	Global equity index fund	UK OEIC	Equities	Global large and mid cap	0.13% OCF	High	7–10 years	Cheaper than a round at the Salisbury. Plain vanilla cap-weighted global, does exactly what it says on the tin.
4Legal & General Global Technology Index Trust	Sector equity index fund	UK unit trust	Equities	Global technology companies, US-heavy	0.32% OCF	Very high	10+ years	My guilty pleasure growth tilt. Volatile enough to feel like watching United try to defend a corner, so I keep it small.
