Vanguard FTSE Developed World UCITS ETF (USD) Accumulating

Vanguard FTSE Developed World UCITS ETF (USD) Accumulating is a passively managed exchange-traded fund that tracks the performance of the FTSE Developed Index, a benchmark comprising large and mid-cap companies across developed markets globally. The fund employs representative sampling methodology to replicate its index, holding approximately 2,000 securities with minimal tracking error. Its portfolio is heavily weighted toward North American equities, particularly the United States at 68% allocation, alongside significant exposure to Pacific and European markets. Major holdings include technology giants such as NVIDIA, Apple, and Microsoft, reflecting the broader market composition. With a total expense ratio of 0.12% annually, the fund provides cost-efficient diversification across diversified sectors including technology, consumer discretionary, and healthcare.
