iShares MSCI World Swap UCITS ETF USD (Acc)

The iShares MSCI World Swap UCITS ETF USD (Acc) is an exchange-traded fund designed to replicate the performance of the MSCI World Index, which represents large and mid-cap equities from 23 developed markets globally. As a synthetic ETF, it employs swap-based replication rather than direct ownership of the underlying securities. Its primary purpose is to provide broad exposure to developed equity markets, allowing investors to capture global economic trends and sector movements in a single, cost-efficient vehicle. This fund is accumulating, meaning any dividends earned from its holdings are automatically reinvested rather than distributed, making it suitable for those seeking long-term, compounded growth. With a competitive total expense ratio of 0.12% per annum and a fund size of approximately EUR 242 million, it appeals to investors looking for global diversification at a low cost. Operating in USD, the ETF does not hedge currency risk, so returns are subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Managed by iShares, a reputable ETF provider, it plays a significant role in diversified portfolio construction for both institutional and private investors seeking efficient access to the global developed equity market.
