AC World Equity
Model benchmark: MSCI ACWI Net Total Return USD
Unhedged GBP model view; currency effects included
A similar fund name does not prove the same exposure. Check the benchmark, hedge and open questions before considering a substitution.
Implementation coverage
1 candidate(s) match the recorded benchmark and hedge. Platform access and the remaining fund checks still apply.
Retail route evidenced
Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF USD Acc
UCITS ETF
VWRP · IE00BK5BQT80
FTSE All-World is an alternative to MSCI ACWI. Both cover developed and emerging large/mid-cap shares, but country classification and constituent rules differ. This is not the model index.
Ongoing charge: 0.14% (verified · as of 2026-07-28)
Reduced from 0.19% to 0.14% effective 28 July 2026 for unhedged accumulation and income classes. The older KIID expense figure is superseded by this announced fee change. Fund transaction and broker costs are separate.
Sources and remaining checks
Check current broker dealing availability and the account you intend to use.
Transaction costs and tracking observations do not yet share a common comparison period; no complete-cost ranking is given.

Ongoing charge: 0.2% (verified · as of 2026-09-03)
Annual fund charge; portfolio trading and broker costs are additional.

Side-by-side comparison
Select up to four candidates. Figures with different dates or methods are not a like-for-like ranking. Unknown costs are not zero.

Compare the cost of your planned trade
A fund’s annual charge is only one part of the cost. Two people buying the same ETF can pay different amounts because they use different accounts, order sizes or trading currencies. Compare your shortlisted funds using the same planned investment and holding period.
What to collect before comparing total costs
Account and order
Choose the platform and account type, the amount you would invest, and whether you would buy once or regularly. Check the charge for that order method and any account fee or cap. Example: AJ Bell’s account and dealing charges.
Exact trading line and currency
Match the ISIN, exchange and trading currency. Ask whether the platform converts your cash and what conversion charge applies. A fund’s accounting currency alone does not establish this cost; a sterling trading line does not establish a currency hedge.
Buy and sell prices
For exchange-traded products, obtain a quote for your order size. The bid is the price available to sell; the offer is the price available to buy. Their difference is the spread, already reflected in those prices. Do not add the full spread again as a separate fee when comparing quoted cash amounts. A historical spread is not a guaranteed quote. How ETF spreads work.
Conventional funds
These may use a future valuation point instead of an exchange quote. Check the dealing deadline, pricing method and any dilution adjustment in the fund documents. An ETF spread and a conventional fund’s pricing adjustment are not interchangeable measurements. Fidelity’s explanation of forward pricing.
Costs while you hold
Keep annual fund charges and the fund’s internal transaction-cost estimate separate from your platform’s charges. Read each figure’s period and method. Do not add these expenses again to a historical fund return that already reflects them.
Other charges and a later sale
Check applicable taxes, levies and exit or transfer charges for the actual product and account. A later sale can have its own dealing charge, spread and currency conversion. Today’s price does not establish those future amounts.
Guide reviewed 13 September 2026. Provider links explain the relevant cost components; they are not an endorsement or an account-eligibility check. Missing candidate cost evidence remains unknown. This guide supplies no live prices or personalised total.
What this picker does and does not establish
This is a UK investment research tool. Base currency does not determine residence or eligibility. A professional-route filter is not a declaration that you qualify; the relevant firm must assess access. Shortlisting changes no portfolio weights and places no orders.
Model estimates are not fund forecasts. Charges shown here are not a complete account cost: platform fees, dealing, spreads, foreign exchange and tax may also matter. We do not rank funds using incomplete or incompatible cost observations.
Evidence is marked stale when its review is more than 90 days old. The original value and observation date remain visible; stale does not mean the fact has necessarily changed. Conflicting and missing evidence stays labelled separately.
Questions this page answers
Does choosing GBP make every fund suitable for a UK investor?
No. Your measuring currency, residence, account wrapper and investor classification are separate questions. This tool researches UK routes and shows where access still needs checking with the provider.
Is the lowest ongoing charge the cheapest investment?
Not necessarily. Ongoing charges are only one component. Portfolio transaction costs, your platform’s account and dealing charges, bid/ask spreads, currency conversion and tax may also affect the outcome. Missing costs are not treated as zero here.
Does a candidate fund exactly implement the model exposure?
Only a comparison of the benchmark, currency treatment and other material characteristics can establish the fit. Similar names are insufficient. The picker preserves alternative mappings and open questions rather than silently changing your model portfolio.
Does saving or comparing funds place an order?
No. Your shortlist is stored in this browser. The tool does not place orders, change your portfolio weights or establish that your broker will allow a purchase.
