What ETFs to invest on InvestEngine?

I recently opened an account on IE to take advantage of their referral bonus. The only ETF I have invested in on another platform is SPYL, which is unavailable on IE.

I tend to focus more on individual stock picking, so I am unfamiliar with good ETFs. Could you recommend some ETFs that you are currently investing in?

Aim to retire by 45.

    Different ETFs do different things... I suggest you explore the website JustETF to check out the sectors that interest you. Personally I am looking at single-country ETFs for Korea and Poland, and hold ETFs covering German and European small businesses. If you don't know what you want, look for a global tracker with the lowest possible fees.

    or ACWI. Just as cheap and globaler.
    or 
    WRDA. Cheaper and just as global.

    WEBG is only 0.07 % TER. I guess someone more knowledgeable will tell me that the peformance of a more expensive one will make up for the lower fee?

    I tend at the moment to prefer country targeted ETFs because I think markets around the world are less overvalued than in others. But I still buy world ones because it often still beats what I try and do. But my share picking on T212 often turns out well. I think invest engine is a great thing to have for a SIPP, since I can't fiddle with it too much or buy shares.

    agree! in most of my S&S ISA, i only invest in ETF. it helps to manage my risk.
