The fund maintains a total expense ratio of 0.20% p.a., is currency unhedged in USD, and has grown to a substantial size of approximately EUR 111 billion, underscoring its prominence in providing broad global equity exposure. This ETF plays a key role in offering investors a low-cost, liquid vehicle for accessing developed market equities across geographies.
