  • This is for long term (20 years +) accumulation, rather than monthly payout.

    If you want Developed World only as a traditional fund then Fidelity Index World at 0.12%

    You're basically looking for a global equity index fund then. There are loads: https://monevator.com/best-global-tracker-funds/
    LS100 is a fund-of-funds, often called a multi-asset fund which is technically wrong since it's 100% equity which is a single asset class, also loads available: https://monevator.com/passive-fund-of-funds-the-rivals/
    VFTSEDWXUK and VLS100 are similar in that they are both global equity index funds that take an indexing approach, however with VFTSEDWXUK you're making an active choice to exclude the UK and emerging markets, with VLS100 you're making an active decision to overweight the UK from 4-5% of your fund as with a vanilla global index to 20-25%. They will probably behave similarly but these differences in holdings may lead to differences in returns and volatility.

    Legal & General International Index, tracks FTSE World (ex UK) Index. Hargreaves Lansdown offer it for 0.08% (otherwise 0.13%) but their 0.45% platform fee somewhat makes up for that :smile:

    Vanguard's FTSE global all cap is what I use.  Seems to have the right spread and has over seven thousand companies in it.  So it should reflect the global economy in general.  It's cheap on Vanguards own platform too.  0.23% for the fund, and 0.15% for the platform.
    Think first of your goal, then make it happen!
