Just starting out – VWRP or build my own ETF mix?

Hi all,

I'm new to investing in the UK and planning to put in £50/month via Freetrade. I'm stuck between two options:

1. Just buy VWRP – simple, global exposure, no rebalancing.

2. Build my own mix – VUSA (US), VJPN (Japan), BLND (UK REIT), and an ESG ETF. I like the idea of keeping it simple with VWRP, but I’m also curious about picking a few UK dividend stocks later on to learn more.

Anyone else started like this?

. Is one ETF better to start with? . Or is building a mix worth it long-term? Thanks!
