VOO and chill for people living outside of the US?

34M got £115k in VOO in my Vanguard SIPP (tax efficient UK private pension) and got a further £10k in my employer pension account (ex-UK global equity fund).

I appreciate and enjoy the simplicity of “VOO and chill” and “DCAing” but this seems to be geared towards US based investors and if I was state side I’d be fairly happy with the c. 20% gain of 2025 but taking into account the USD depreciation I’m only up c. 7% in GBP terms.

Does it make sense for someone who is not state side to do “VOO and chill”? I’m looking for reasons to continue with this ultra simple strategy even though I plan on being in the UK long term but something in me is saying my situation is different.
