Hello to the forum!

I have held a portfolio in Allan grey balanced for around 5 years now and have been adding to it over this time

2012 and 13 did great and I hardly worried however I noticed for 2014 especially toward the end of the year I lost and my yearly growth was pretty low.

I work abroad in the Netherlands so not always easy to go visit an adviser plus want to keep costs to a minimum! Something, maybe intuition is pushing me to re-look this investment stratergy and perhaps look at some other options especially in the year ahead which might be a tough one in SA.

Can any one give some pointers on

A) investing on this side instead in a balanced type retail offering and taking money out AG SA to do so ?

B) rather diversify out of AG balanced and spread across some other funds ( Bonds, Equity, Balanced ) perhaps in other investment houses ( Satrix, coronation )

C) sit tight and hold on AG balanced is a decent place just carry on saving 

I know investment advice is taboo, but to be honest out here it super difficult to get anybody to bounce ideas off

Hope i am in the right place!!
