Portfolio Type: Dividend-Growth Hybrid Strategy
Objective: Reduce overweight tech & speculative holdings, shift capital to long-term dividend income growth with stability and defensiveness.
This rebalance reallocates capital from high-volatility growth/speculative assets into stable dividend-growth companies, REIT/income positions, and a long-term dividend ETF anchor. A £500 tactical cash reserve is maintained for market dips. The portfolio remains globally diversified with a preference for U.S. mega-cap durability and UK-listed income support.
