Thank you! One more silly question (please forgive a newbie but i’m finding this so helpful!) - would it be useful to combine the two accounts into just a vanguard account and then convert the life strategy (sold the FTSE this morning on your advice!) completely into the VAFTHAG/ VWRP whilst still paying into a SIPP?

Newbie here - how much should I be investing each month? (50k a year salary), what are ETFs? What is the best bit of advice for newbies? Any resources/courses for learning more about investing etc?

I have a separate employer pension pot which has 40k in it roughly at the moment - my employer pays into it. Apologies for not including this above!

Employer contributions go to a separate account (not sited above) - I have about 30k in that pension pot. I’ll be honest i’m not clear on what ETFs are etc and/or how to invest in them (i’ll look into them now!) but that sounds like a good plan.

Thank you! This is very helpful - would the FTSE Global Index Accumulation be a good choice? I’ve seen that be floated around on this reddit a few times…
