In a SIPP how many shares do you down? I think I might have gone too far in diversification with 14 different shares, with my eye on another 6, mainly all blue chips with a good history of dividends as i am looking for long term income return rather than growth in value, but i have a couple which are punts

Yes get a low cost tracker, and sleep at night.
Such as:
VANGUARD FUNDS PLC VANGUARD FTS ETF- Yahoo! UK & Ireland Finance
It is a whole-world stock market tracker, with total fees of 0.3% per year. Job done.Comment

Experts largely agree that passive funds work best in the large developed markets, as it is difficult for active managers to add value. "The best examples are large UK and US equities," says Patrick Connolly, spokesperson for AWD Chase de Vere.
"Here, information is so freely available that it is very difficult for active managers to spot and exploit genuine investment opportunities."
Davies adds: "There are so many final and interim results and trading statements that there's a level playing field among investors.
If Tesco takes some analysts around its stores and gives them a briefing, they will still press release it straight after so everyone has that information and no one has an advantage."
...as Peter Robertson, head of retail at Vanguard, points out: "Consistent long-term outperformance with an active fund is rare."

Still too heavily exposed to the finance sector, but I just can't see Lloyds not returning to at least £2 a share within the next 5-10 years which considering I bought them for a average of 30p a share, sold a fair number of Lloyds and Aviva in the past to aid my diversification, but am now looking to add First Group, BP, ARM, Next, Persimmon and British Land to finally cover myself and then just slowly bring up the minor share holdings with my regular monthly income to dilute the Lloyds without having to sell anyOriginally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyI can't see any way to do it can you please advise?

Been hammered on the BG shares this year - but still think OK long term
GSK has had a good run up - not sure there is further to go
BAT seems to be in everyone's portfolio shame I didn't add earlier
Dodged a bullet as was going to pile into RBS a few years ago as a banking stock - but I am looking into banking to widen the portfolioLast edited by Troll; 28 April 2013, 19:24.How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't thinkComment

(I've actually worked at Lloyds, BB, Aviva & Vodafone - which may explain why not in the portfolio )What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment
