SWRD vs IWDA
SWRD and IWDA both track the MSCI World index (developed markets, ~1,500 stocks) as accumulating Ireland-domiciled UCITS ETFs. The headline difference is cost.
The bottom line
Same index, same accumulating structure — this comes down to fee and size. SWRD (SPDR) is cheaper at 0.12% TER; IWDA (iShares) charges 0.20% but is far larger and more liquid with a longer track record. For a buy-and-hold core, SWRD's lower fee is attractive; IWDA's depth can mean tighter spreads. Both are solid MSCI World cores.
