Question 1

Is IWDA the same as VWCE?

Accepted Answer

No. IWDA (iShares Core MSCI World UCITS ETF) and VWCE (Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF (Acc)) are different funds. IWDA (MSCI World) is developed markets only — no China, India, etc. — at 0.20% TER. VWCE (FTSE All-World) adds ~10% emerging markets for a single all-in-one global holding at 0.22%. Pick VWCE for true one-fund global coverage, or IWDA if you want to control EM separately (e.g. pairing with EIMI). Both accumulate dividends.
