Reading what Fletch wrote and formulating my reply was really very helpful so thank you enormously, it helped me think things through and put things into perspective. The end result was that I decided I don't need to take the risk with my personal investments, not at my age, although there is very little I can do about my pension fund other than to make it more robust. I therefore decided to sell off everything apart from 25k of global equity funds plus a very reliable bond fund, I can happily view what remains as me having a flutter, mad money that gives me a toe in the markets - I shall leave the new found 25k on the platform in cash on a wait and see basis. Interestingly, the geographic allocation now looks thinly but very nicely spread. The learning process continues and I view today's step as just another part of that process, many thanks to all for your inputs, guidance and comments, they're all much appreciated - I expect Mrs CM will want to go shopping later when I tell her!
