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...

LOL, the original stub with redirect had already dropped off the first page by the time I saw this one, so apologies for questioning your faculties.

Why not spread funds equally between say VWRL, ACWI, FTWG and HMWO to diversify provider risk?

Would feel uncomfortable with £500k in one (say) but more comfortable with £125k in each.

Nothing to do with FSCS protection as that is probably irrelevant.

Minor gripe from me that VWRP is domiciled in Ireland, so you need to complete the Foreign Pages in a UK tax return, which can't be done using the HMRC online system.

Nearly all ETFs are domiciled in Ireland

1) You only need to include the foreign pages if you received over £500 of foreign dividends

2) The foreign pages can be added to the online tax return

3) As ColdIron says, nearly all ETFs are domiciled in Ireland, but those that aren't are domiciled in Luxembourg, France etc, so are still foreign. I don't believe there are any UK domiciled ETFs.
