About this fund

Access all areas

Overview

This fund provides low-cost access to medium and large companies in developed and emerging equity markets across the globe — all in a single investment. 

Investing in this fund grants exposure to a globally diversified mix of companies. If global trends shift, your investment remains balanced across key regions and sectors — making the FTSE All-World a strong choice for long-term global growth.

Sector exposure

The FTSE All-World Index Fund tracks an index weighted by the market value of publicly traded shares, rather than focusing on any one sector.

At present, the top sector exposures include Technology, Financials, Consumer Goods, Industrials, and Healthcare. However, these sector weightings evolve over time, adapting naturally to shifts in global market performance.

Index Tracker

This is a passive index fund, meaning it doesn’t hand-pick stocks — it follows a broad benchmark of leading companies in developed and emerging markets.

While the individual top performers may change, the fund will always track the same segment of the global economy. That consistency makes it an appealing option for long-term, passive investors seeking global exposure.
