iWeb - do they sell all Vanguard funds?

[Deleted User]

Hi all,

I recently signed up to iWeb to invest in this Vanguard fund: 

FTSE Global All Cap Index Fund Accumulation (https://www.vanguardinvestor.co.uk/investments/vanguard-ftse-global-all-cap-index-fund-gbp-acc/overview)

but .... I can't find it on the iWeb system which is rather, putting it politely, antiquated and their webchat appears to, ahem, be broken and I can't, ahem, seem to get through to anyone on the phone.

Does anyone with access to iweb know how to find it? Or am I completely out of luck (which is a bit annoying if so....).

Thanks!!

Is this the one

We don't say "antiquated", we say "classic"

Yes it is there.

Vanguard Investments Uk Ltd dropdown and then the 8th and 9th line down - choose between accumulation and income distribution.

Thanks both!! That is indeed the one. It also comes up now when I search it, perhaps the website was broken when I searched for it yesterday as I'm pretty sure I did the exact same search...and couldn't find it!! Maybe I was doing something wrong

It can appear broken, but  IWebchat only 'pops up' if there is an IWeb colleague free to deal with the query - ie not busy on other queries, for instance.

Hi again - so I would like to find another vanguard fund on iweb, this one:
https://markets.ft.com/data/etfs/tearsheet/summary?s=VWRL:LSE:GBP

I can find the "US$" priced variant (code VWRD) here
https://www.markets.iweb-sharedealing.co.uk/etf-centre/details/IE00B3RBWM25/-1

I can also find a reference to the correct fund (code VWRL) when I search the investor centre (by searching: https://www.markets.iweb-sharedealing.co.uk/investments-search/?term=Vanguard+Funds+Vanguard+FTSE+All-World+Ucits+ETF)

 but when I click on the link, it takes me to the VWRD fund NOT the VWRL fund....sigh! Am I doing something wrong? Can someone with more knowledge point me in the direction of the correct web page?

Thanks!!!

What difference does it make as the underlying fund itself is denominated in US $.

Are you sure? The FT says it is "VWRL:LSE:GBP" which implies GBP.

The issue is that if I buy directly in USD iWeb will presumably whack me with a painful foreign currency conversion charge of something like 1%, which I won't pay if it's in GBP.

Yes, the forex charges on iWeb are to be avoided IIRC.

I doubt they bother with two entries on the research pages, but when you input the ticker on the trading screen you can confirm you have the correct currency share class.

It may be worth noting that the HSBC FTSE All-World Index Fund C also tracks FTSE All-World rather than MSCI All Country World index, and has considerably lower charges.

Solved!! You have to go through the UK dealing page, not the "funds" page, even though it's a Fund and the VWRL fund pops right up.

Note that I called iweb and it took them 30 minutes to tell me this answer...they also claim that if you buy the USD variant because it's UK listed there'll be no FX charge, although they apply a "market rate" USD conversion (but based on a proprietary rate that they can't tell you anything about...)

It's not a fund, VWRL is structured as an ETF and traded on an exchange
