Hi, quite a nice portfolio!
Apart from the huge overweight in oil that you already mentioned, the only other thing that comes to mind is the fact that I can see that you are from the UK based on your portfolio. (I realise this might be due to brokerage fees.) Most of your companies seem to operate on a worldwide scale so geographical diversification has obviously been taken care of quite well but I would still look more into companies which have very little to do with the UK, mainly because it's the country you live in. Because you work and live in the UK you are already extremely dependent on their economy, investments that have nothing to do with the UK should provide a nice umbrella should the brown stuff hit the fan in the UK. This would also greatly reduce the losses if the UK government would do something stupid (such as raising corporate tax) which would negatively affect all the companies registered there.
Now if you happen to be from outside of the UK, then I just wrote quite a bit of useless text.
