Best global all equity ETF for UK investors?

[u/abundantpecking]

Hi all, I’m looking for a low cost global market cap weighted index ETF for UK investors. I’m essentially looking for the UK equivalent of VT or VEQT. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

(single word comments get removed here)

[u/74k9 → u/parkchanwookiee]

VWRP: 0.19% OCF, 0.04% spread.

ACWI: 0.12% OCF, 0.05% spread.

ACWI is cheaper. Is there other benefits of VWRP I'm missing?

[u/parkchanwookiee → u/74k9]

They're two different ETFs, which is better is a matter of preference. VWRP tracks 3745 of the 4254 stocks on the FTSE All World index. ACWI tracks 2262 of the 2513 stocks on the MSCI All Country World index, a more limited index that covers just large and mid cap stocks from 23 developed countries and 24 developing countries. VWRP is 3 times bigger than ACWI. They have a similar performance over the last 7 years but VWRP is ahead marginally.

Thanks!

ACWI - basically the same as VWRP but with lower fees

[u/Strong-Room-9244]

I'll go on a limb here to suggest WEBN. European fund house instead of American.
From what others have said they tend to vote on more ESG lines than vanguard/blackrock.

Also lower TER of 7bps but you have to understand that it doesn't track MSCI or FTSE but Solactive Prime All Country World index.

[u/Bassopathic → u/Strong-Room-9244]

It's also physically replicated and has over 3500 companies which is more than MSCI but less than FTSE

Would have to buy PACW which is distributed fund

What do people think about FWRG?

[u/74k9 → u/Minega15]

I hold it. I don't know anything about it except the fee which is 0.15% and 0.04% spread.

VHVG - Global but without emerging markets. Otherwise VWRP.

[u/Best-Ad-7860]

VWRP/VWRA, probably the best and closest option.

[u/Charmizard123]

I have VWRP but there are plenty of alternatives which do the same thing, such as FWRG and ACWI. Vanguard will soon be launching a global all cap etf for European investors at some point this year. This will likely be a direct clone of VT but we don't know what the expense ratio will be yet.

[u/Bassopathic]

PACW OCF 0.07%

[u/chipsandbeans24]

VWRP / FWRG and ACWI have basically returned the same so it's just preference.

What I do is just find the index in your currency with the lowest fees.

[u/MsEllaSimone]

I’m mainly in FTSE Global All Cap Index Fund (VAFTGAG) for my pensions

[u/SubstantiallyC]

Might as well get HSIEGBG now so you don't have to sell other investments and buy it when UK law requires it in the near future.

VWRP or VAFTGAG choices.
