At the end of the day, I have a bit of a mixed bag, with 42% in individual stock (but pretty much matching the ASX20), 13% in REITS, 3% in LICs, 10% in domestic ETFs and 31% in international ETFs. <br /><br />For a buy and hold portfolio, where I'm just trying to join the market, I'm consistently torn between the administration and cost of holding individual stock. I guess on the plus side, holding individual stock probably gives a bit more diversification against a fund manager going belly up?Bigchrisbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948410395168741379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22517597.post-52557134529929409602012-01-18T19:05:51.163+11:002012-01-18T19:05:51.163+11:00Very interested in future posts re your findings w...Very interested in future posts re your findings with IB. I'm with both CFS geared [unhappy with performance], but also have shares in Djeriwarrh somewhat as compromise for market falling. I haven't computed the sharpe ratio etc though, so should get around to that to see if I'm getting my money's worth.<br /><br />Keep up the good work and posting, much appreciated!Darrennoreply@blogger.com
