Domiciled in Ireland and launched in 2010, the fund manages about 13.5 bn € and charges a TER of 0.15% — 15 € per year on a €10,000 investment. Income is paid out to investors periodically (distributing).
HSBC MSCI World UCITS ETF USD competes with 26 other products on the same index (MSCI World): it ranks 5th by fund size and 9th by ongoing cost, with a TER of 0.15% against a group median of 0.20%. It has been listed since 2010, 16 years of track record.
On a €10,000 investment the TER costs 15 € 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 10 € every year, roughly 100 € over ten years before compounding.
Replication is physical: the fund holds the underlying securities directly. The ten largest positions account for 25.4% of the portfolio.
Income is distributed periodically: it produces cash flow, but reinvesting it is up to you if the goal is capital growth. 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.
