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

When choosing between the Vanguard FTSE All-World ETF (VEU) and the iShares Core MSCI World ETF (IXUS) for your Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP), consider the following factors: 1. **Index Tracking**: VEU tracks the FTSE All-World Index, which includes large and mid-cap stocks from both developed and emerging markets. IXUS, on the other hand, tracks the MSCI World Index, which primarily consists of large and mid-cap stocks from developed markets. 2. **Geographic Exposure**: If you want broader global exposure, including emerging markets, VEU might be more suitable. However, if you prefer a focus on developed markets, IXUS could be a better fit. 3. **Expense Ratio**: Compare the expense ratios of both ETFs. Lower expense ratios can lead to higher long-term returns. As of now, VEU has an expense ratio of 0.08%, while IXUS has an expense ratio of 0.20%. 4. **Liquidity and Trading**: Check the average daily trading volume and the bid-ask spread for both ETFs. Higher liquidity can make it easier to buy and sell shares at favorable prices. 5. **Historical Performance**: While past performance is not a guarantee of future results, it can provide some insight into how each ETF has performed under various market conditions. 6. **Suitability for SIPP**: Ensure that the chosen ETF aligns with your SIPP's investment objectives and risk tolerance. Since you're investing for the long term, consider the ETF's historical volatility and drawdowns. Given the deployment configuration, I cannot provide personal recommendations or specific financial advice. However, based on the information provided, you can make an informed decision by comparing the factors mentioned above. If you need further assistance, consider consulting a qualified financial adviser who can provide personalized advice based on your individual circumstances.
