iShares MSCI World Swap UCITS ETF USD Acc is a equity ETF from iShares tracking the MSCI World index through synthetic replication. Domiciled in Ireland and launched in 2024, the fund manages about 1.8 bn € and charges a TER of 0.12% — 12 € per year on a €10,000 investment. Income is automatically reinvested in the fund (accumulating).
iShares MSCI World Swap UCITS ETF USD Acc competes with 26 other products on the same index (MSCI World): it ranks 18th by fund size and 4th by ongoing cost, with a TER of 0.12% against a group median of 0.20%. It has been listed since 2024, 2 years of track record.
On a €10,000 investment the TER costs 12 € a year. The cheapest of the group is Invesco MSCI World UCITS ETF EUR at 0.05%, or 5 € on the same amount: a difference of 7 € every year, roughly 70 € over ten years before compounding.
Replication is synthetic: a swap counterparty undertakes to deliver the index return. This usually tightens tracking, and introduces counterparty risk, which UCITS rules limit through collateral.
Income is accumulated: no distribution is paid out, the share price absorbs it. In a savings plan this removes the need to reinvest dividends by hand. The fund is denominated in USD. That is not the same as currency risk: the exposure comes from the currencies of the underlying holdings, not from the denomination or the trading currency of a given listing.
Irish domicile lets the fund apply the Ireland–US tax treaty, with 15% withholding instead of 30% on US dividends received by the fund.
