Unavoidable. The underlying investments will be traded in their home currency. Trading a fund in GDP makes it easier to follow. Rather than having to convert continually. 

Indeed, alot of passive index trackers will have US shares close to >50% so fluctuations will be inevitable.

HMWO: Its an EFT from HSBC & tracks the World MSCI instead of the FTSE World Index.

This is income but the question was that I'm looking for accumulation. 

Anyone have any other suggestions?

When do you need to convert them? Sites like HL show the price of the USD-denominated VWRP in Sterling https://www.hl.co.uk/shares/shares-search-results/v/vanguard-ftse-all-world-ucits-etf-usd-acc

VWRP is NOT USD denominated. It is listed in £ on the LSE. No conversion required (see my link above.Why it has USD in the name I I am not sure, but the (GBP) bit at the end is the important part).

If you wanted the USD the denominated version on the LSE for some reason, the code is VWRA

The performance will still be the same, >50% of the holdings are listed in USD.

It is because the base currency of the fund is USD.

Can anyone offer an answer to the opening post? This has got stuck in the long grass about GBP/USD on that Vanguard fund. 

Can anyone suggest an ETF (apart from the Vanguard one):

Low cost
Accumulation - not income
Global tracker - so includes Emerging Markets - not just Developed
UK weighting is broadly representative (so not ex-UK and not very over-weighted)

Why not hold a seperate ETF to cover the specific emerging markets you wish to be invested in. Then rebalance between the two ETF's once a quarter for example to maintain your desired weighting.

Because I was trying to avoid that?

I was hoping that somewhere out there, is an alternative to the Vanguard ETF, which ticks all the boxes because it actually holds close to the weightings of the MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI). Most don't hold Emerging Markets.

I already hold the Vanguard fund, and wanted to diversify (to reduce systemic fund manager risk). But so far it looks like for low cost ETFs available on the main platforms, only Vanguard's ETF comes close.
