Why would anyone invest in VWRP over SPDR MSCI ACWI UCITS ETF

I am deciding in which global etf to invest in. VWRP has a  0.22% and also charges a transaction cost while SPDR MSCI ACWI UCITS ETF charges 0.12% OCR. Is this something that is too good to be true? Am I better off going into a more trusted and household name in vanguard. Why does SPDR MSCI ACWI UCITS ETF cost more?

    VWRP gives significantly better returns. Probably.

    I’m confused that you say SPDR costs more and yet also say it charges 0.12% vs Vanguard’s 0.22%…

    What about FWRG?

    Do you have proof of these returns anyway I can compare, and will it be worth it for the fees?

    Ok but SPDR is 0.12% with no transaction fee, Vanguardis 0.02%. Will they both provide similarish returns

    I tried a comparison graph on HL but the two lines were near identical.  Over 5 years VWRP is +91.65% and ACWI is +92.32%

    Vanguard is not the cheapest FTSE all world tracker.

    Nobody takes any notice of transaction charges though as they are flawed.
