RE: Overexposed ??? What to do?1 Jan 2026 10:42
It’s important, in my view, to take profits and diversify gradually. Yes, opportunities like this can feel uniquely compelling and they often do end in a takeover, especially if the Q1 news flow stays positive. But we all know the saying about greedy piggies.
I’ve already had one takeover in 2025, and I’ve got no regrets about top slicing it. My heart may have sulked at the time, but my brain certainly hasn’t. The trick is to work out what percentage of AUM you are comfortable with and in what account. An ISA you want to shoot the lights out 33% max, a retirement SIPP more sensible 2-6% maximum. Have a plan to move no more than one 5k or so a month due to liquidity.
