Overview
Description
iShares MSCI ACWI UCITS ETF USD (Acc) is an exchange-traded fund managed by iShares, a division of BlackRock, designed to track the performance of the MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI). This index encompasses large- and mid-cap stocks across 23 developed markets and 24 emerging markets, providing comprehensive global equity exposure. Launched on 21 October 2011 and domiciled in Ireland, the ETF follows an accumulating structure, reinvesting dividends to support compounded growth rather than distributing them to investors. It employs optimized sampling to replicate the benchmark's total return, including capital appreciation and income, with a low total expense ratio of 0.20% per annum. With assets under management exceeding 22 billion euros and unhedged USD currency exposure, it captures diverse sector dynamics such as technology (27%), financial services (17%), and industrials (11%), alongside regions worldwide. This ETF serves as a core component for portfolios seeking broad, passive access to international equities without active management.
