We always say there’s no point investing in technology separately since there’s so much exposure to it already eg S&P500. Unless you’re extremely bullish on it of course. But if you’re looking to diversify that’s a really tech heavy portfolio  
And also, my own opinion, but bonds are more of a wealth preserver than builder. Depending on your time horizon I would leave them out. But just my opinion…

Nice I didn’t know you could share them. (I havent actually made a pie yet)

Anyway a yes to **IITU** and **EQQQ** those are two solid picks.

**VUSA** / **IUSA** is good but not as good as sticking with the top 100, and the tech ones.

I would also add in Gold **SGLN**.

Bonds as @CavanHaganInvesting mentioned I wouldn’t touch personally.

Oh and before I got kicked off Freetrade I used to make threads like this which looked at historic performance on the ETFs they had at the time.

I should add I have zero ETFs in my portfolio.
