Global index tracking ETF?

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)

There isn't another one that covers all those

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.
