SW SSgA International Equity Index Pension

I was planning to move out of my SW workplace pension as I now need to drawdown and wanted a better fund range. My main target asset in Global equities through an index, coupled with a conservative pension fund such as my Portfolio 3 and 4. I've just come across this on my platform

I've not heard much about it but looks as good as other top global trackers. Maybe US heavy. Fee only 0.2% through SW. May go 50% this and 50% current boring portfolio with total fees of 0.35%. Appreciate any thoughts.

Probably get a better response if you post the fact sheet or at least the portfolio split . There are many different pensions funds so unlikely that many will be that familiar with this specific one.
Most global funds are heavily tilted towards the US . Usually somewhere between 50 and 60% .

A global tracker is what it is says on the tin. Driven by market capitalisation the US weighting will dominant. Which dilutes the vast majority of the holdings to insequential bystanders. Global equity is the current fad. That's where the money is flowing. That's also how bubbles form

US accounts for over 50% of the world stockmarket cap. What you are describing isn’t a “tilt”. A tilt would be if you were under- or overweight USA based on your guess about the future.
