Closest trad fund equivalent to HMWO

So... someone (not me) needs to get out of ETFs (it's a very valid reason but not one I can go into here) and needs an equivalent to HMWO, that they currently hold.

Is there a slam dunk equivalent that they can use in the trad fund space?

    iShares Developed World Index Fund D is marginally cheaper (based on transaction costs alone), but domiciled in Ireland. I'd probably still opt for the Fidelity fund.

    Thank you both, I think Fidelity looks a good option, plus it's accumulating, which was the one minor irritant of HMWO as an ETF
