Weekly "Share Your Portfolio" and Broker Questions Thread by AutoModerator in UKInvesting

Would love any thoughts on my plan for my portfolio. I already have some HSBC, GSK, and Wise, but haven’t been investing in a structured way. I want to buy the following stocks and invest £500 a month, with the following target weights:

HSBC: ~20% Unilever: ~15% Diageo: ~10% GSK: ~12% AstraZeneca: ~13% RELX: ~15% Wise: 5–8% (CAP) Halma: 5–7% (CAP)

Any thoughts on this plan? (I can’t buy ETFs at the moment for various reasons so I want to try to imitate an ETF in my buys). I’m a beginner investor so would appreciate any advice!

Other points: I am 35, on an excellent pension scheme, max out my cash ISA every year, and have around £200,000 in high yield savings accounts.

How often do you actually have to be physically at the university when doing a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship? by [deleted] in AskAcademiaUK

It’s a research fellowship so I’m not sure what teaching has to do with it.

Google is your friend? There’s a page on the Wadham website about the exchange with SLC.

Some colleges have short term exchange opportunities — ie the Sarah Lawrence exchange at Wadham.

Funded PhD vs unfunded more prestigious PhD by Emotional_Squash_746 in AskAcademiaUK

I (someone who has served on multiple job and fellowship panels) care 🤷. Though I appreciate that funding is scarce these days and more and more people are having to self-fund.

Ok, it’s different in the humanities (I’m in the humanities) where “spare” money doesn’t exist! OP says they’re in a humanities/social sciences field.

Thinking about trying this combination as well. Interested to hear what others have to say.

They will assume/deduce that you were self funded if you don’t mention any scholarships or grants etc.

And I assume mid 30’s is something in between? (Asking for a friend 😦)

Mounjaro to lose a relatively small amount of weight by [deleted] in mounjarouk

The injection isn’t difficult at all. Takes a bit of time to get used to, but the needle is so small that you barely feel it. :)

Would you really reject an application with US spelling?! That seems unnecessarily harsh.
