    If you want to choose the right one for you, you'd need to identify the criteria against which you'll compare them - are you looking for widest coverage, lowest cost, preferred replication methodology, smallest tracking error, etc, etc?

    They track the same index I think so just go with whichever is cheapest.

    They don't? ACWI tracks MSCI, while others track ftse

    Lowest cost probably
    So if you're capable of identifying three global ETFs that you feel fit your fundamental requirements, you'll presumably have been able to locate and compare their costs?

    I'm getting déjà vu, wasn't there an almost identical thread recently...? Seem to recall that HMWO wasn't mentioned on that one either.

    I'd say a little more than almost identical. Go back to the first page and see if the third post jogs any memories ;)

    Ummm.... was this a thread merge? I'm sure that this was separate from that other one I'd commented on before.

    Of course it could just be a senior(ish) moment...
