I'm choosing between the Vanguard FTSE All-World ETF and the iShares Core MSCI World ETF for my SIPP. Which one is better?

Reply

If you want the **simplest single-fund global equity solution**, the **Vanguard FTSE All-World ETF** is generally the better fit. ### Why - **FTSE All-World** covers **developed + emerging markets** in one fund. - **MSCI World** covers **developed markets only**. - So All-World gives you **broader diversification** without needing a second ETF. ### Key difference - **Vanguard FTSE All-World ETF** - ~global coverage - includes emerging markets - one-fund convenience - **iShares Core MSCI World ETF** - developed markets only - often very low cost - can be a good core holding, but it is **not truly world-wide** unless you add an emerging markets ETF ### For a SIPP, my practical recommendation - **Pick Vanguard FTSE All-World** if you want: - maximum simplicity - one ETF only - global diversification including emerging markets - **Pick iShares Core MSCI World** if you want: - a developed-market equity core - to **separately control** your emerging markets allocation - slightly more flexibility in portfolio construction ### Bottom line For most SIPP investors, **Vanguard FTSE All-World is the better “one-and-done” choice**. If you want, I can also help you compare them on **fees, fund size, replication method, and which accumulating/distributing share class is best for a SIPP**.
