iShares MSCI All Country World Index

ETF description

This ETF is designed to give investors exposure to a wide range of companies from around the world, including both developed and emerging markets. It aims to track the performance of a global index, meaning it invests in companies from many different countries and sectors.

This ETF could appeal to investors who want to diversify their portfolio by gaining access to global stock markets through a single investment. It may be suitable for those looking to invest in a broad mix of companies, rather than focusing on one specific region or industry. The ETF provides exposure to large, well‑established companies as well as those in emerging markets, which can offer growth potential but also come with additional risks.
