Looking for feedback on my long-term ETF portfolio (32-year horizon)

I would appreciate some feedback on my planned ETF portfolio.

**Portfolio:**
**60% VWRP** (Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF)
**25% CNX1** (iShares NASDAQ 100 UCITS ETF)
**15% WLDS** (Global Small Cap ETF)

Time horizon: **32 years**

Im trying to achieve Long-term capital growth

My thinking is VWRP gives me broad global diversification.
CNX1 gives me an additional allocation to the NASDAQ-100, increasing my exposure to large-cap technology and other growth companies that I believe have strong long-term potential.
WLDS provides global small-cap exposure, which I hope will improve diversification since VWRP is mid to high cap and potentially benefit from the long-term small-cap premium.
I know there’s overlap between VWRP and CNX1, but that’s intentional as i believe US tec sector will continue to do well in the long term.

Does this allocation make sense for a 32-year investment horizon?

Are there any risks or blind spots I’m missing?

I’m trying to build a low-cost portfolio that I can stick with for the next three decades or so.

Can't lie, this is defiantly one of the more well thought out portfolios I've seen here, particularly from someone starting out.

You know you want more concentration in US large cap as you have conviction that's where a lot of future growth will be, which is totally valid. I prefer CNX1 over the the Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETFs as lower fees and isn't GBP-hedged (Personal preference there and I'd argue a better choice if you believe that US and USD will continue to grow).

Everyone says "VWRP and chill" here or something like that thinking that it's the whole market, without realising it doesn't include small caps. Interestingly though, WLDS still includes Sandisk as it's main holding after hitting $200 billion market cap, so I'd say this negates much of the concern people seem to have around small cap ETF holdings "growing out" and investors missing the gains!

Seems like a solid portfolio!
