Which All-World ETF? | Vanguard vs Invesco

If you’re just starting to invest or have been investing for years it’s likely that you may want to invest in an all-world ETF or index fund. In todays video we will be breaking down the 4 all-world ETFs that are available and deciding which option might be the best.

An index fund or ETF that tracks the all-world market is going to be diverse and should be low cost. One of the main reasons people choose to invest in ETFs is that they provide a diverse portfolio with a single investment and the fees are very low. An all world ETF gives you access to both Emerging and Developed Markets obviously covers the whole world. It’s important to note that around 60% of a world ETF will be made up of US stocks.

Fees compound over time and can really eat into your investments so let’s consider fees first. The only things that discriminate between these four investments is the fees and whether they are accumulation or distribution ETFs. I’m going to be covering widely available world ETFs that you should be able to find in your Stocks and Shares/Investment ISA. These investments are available on all the investment platforms I use.

Thank you for taking the time to watch this quick comparison video 😊 it would mean the WORLD to me if you subscribed 😂 🌎

Wishing you all the best with your investments!

[f.s.]

Invesco FTSE All World ! think it will great in future

[dayalogue]

I was going to put an all world ETF or index into my SIPP rather than having separate ones so this is a timely watch. Thank you for the video.

[markdennis]

Thank you for this terrific summary. Very helpful and informative.

[jacoslapbass]

I currently hold the Vanguard FTSE Developed World ETF (VHVG) with a 0.12% fee and a Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (VFEG) with 0.22% free of which in invest into with a 90/10 split. Would it be more advantageous to hold one single all world ETF such as the Invesco FTSE All world (0.15% free) as investing in a single ETF is better for compounding?

One important consideration which i think you missed in this video is spreads.

The invesco etf trades at much wider spreads than its vanguard equivalent.

This means if your holding period is relatively short term, the vanguard fund could work out cheaper once transaction costs are considered.

Theres also the iShares msci all country world index (SSAC) 0.20 Ter. Tight spread and bigger fund size than vanguards VWRP.

[cameronpickard]

I decided on the Invesco all world (FWRG) and since 16.10.23 its +13.7% so im very happy with that. Ive got a savings plan so i can set and forget it. Makes investing so much easier.

Thank you for the time you put in to your channel, it’s very informative. Would you consider doing a video on Australasian investments, via Barclays smart investor? Maybe tech related? I am keen to hear your sound opinion. With appreciation.

[kostaskoko]

Hey, thanks for the quality content. I m new to investing and i was thinking to start investing some cash at VUAA, but i think FWRA looks like a great opportunity since the price of each position is really low so ill go with this one.

[susmitroy]

How about Liquidity? Do you think being new could cause Liquidity issue for Invesco one?

[jacc]

Thanks for the comparisons. Would it be an idea to have two funds to make up a combined world fund- such as the Vanguard FTSE Developed world ETF with an Emerging markets funds (maybe with a 90/10 % split)?Only asking because the developed world fund has averaged over 12% over the past 5 years which is a considerably higher than these two world funds in this video. Or is this too risky ?

[nelsonyap]

The unit price is very different between the two. Why is that? Would the cheaper price have more advantages?

[PaulSmith-mcvp]

Hi Rachel, what is the best platform to use for an ISA and a portfolio in the UK?PS love the channel

[darude]

Thank you again Rachel ❤ Which accumulating one did you go for?

[philedinburgh]

Perhaps showing the spread between the 2 would or might be worthwhile especially while Invesco is under 100 million.

[Lalars_Channel]

Hi I'm new to investing. I was wondering if it would be worth investing in both? I would put a lump sum in the Invesco ETF with the hope that the price will go up over time and get the return from that? And with the Vanguard I would invest monthly. Thx.

[IfI-og]

Do you know when the investors dividend etf gives it’s dividend 😊

[IfI-og]

Can I ask if the investor etfs have the same holdings why is the price on one more expensive then the other or it simply due to one being more popular with the people?

[dazdakar]

What platform you using?
On trading 212 the VUAA gives more then the one's you mentioned in the past videos. For me, shows that will give 20%.
Let me know the platform you are using for investment please.
Thanks
