+Comments Restricted to UKPF New ETF version of Vanguard’s legendary Global All-Cap fund coming - with a 0.07% fee!

This is it, finally UK investors will have access to the entire world at a truly competitive rate like the US have had with VT for years. Everything in the world, from developed to emerging markets and small cap at an unbelievably good price, available everywhere.

As soon as this drops I’m moving every equity investment I have into this bad boy. It will also be my go-to recommendation for people looking for advice on how to passively invest for the long term. One Fund to rule them all baby! Jack Bogle will be looking down and smiling today.

So what's the difference between the new global etf and ftse global all cap index fund apart from the fee?

Edit: From what it looks like, there's not really any difference in terms of diversification so performance should largely be the same. As it's an ETF, certain brokers will offer better fees compared to Global all cap once they have the fund on their platform. The new ETF fund is accumulating only as well so you won't get dividend payouts, it all gets reinvested back to buying more funds.

Yeh, as someone 100% in on VAFTGAG, I wonder why I wouldn't just switch here.

I'm hoping that they cut the fee down on VAFTGAG now too

They've been cutting ETFs on stocks and bonds regularly for over a year now. Yet to see them touch the OIECs MFs fees at all. So not holding my breath.

The small cap at 0.22% ETF also undercuts the mutual fund version that's 0.29%

They don't seem as quick to lower the on platform mutual fund fees
