Title: which fund should i top up on?
Post by: mohawkbrah on January 16, 2016, 01:10:37 AM

UK vanguard index or US vanguard index?

UK is down quite a bit so possible bargain?

US seems a lot more steady and less volatile

What is your aimed asset allocation? Rebalance accordingly. And for the n-th time, stop trying to guess the bloody market.
