Vanguard has just released a set of new global ETFs, and it sure contains good news for investors.

What's new?

Vanguard has launched the Vanguard FTSE Global All-Cap UCITS ETF (VALL). This is an accumulating fund (i.e. dividends are reinvested), that gives investors exposure to global markets. This single ETF will allow investors to invest in large, medium and small companies across both developed and emerging markets.

What's different about VALL compared to other ETFs?

Most global ETFs do not give investors exposure to small-cap companies. VALL enables investors to spread their money across ~7000 companies, making this a truly global fund. For investors who are familiar with the US ETF market, VALL is similar to VT, which also tracks the FTSE Global All-Cap Index.

With a total expense ratio of just 0.07%, VALL is also a price leader in the category of global equity funds. The closest competitor is ALLW, which also charges 0.07% but does not give exposure to small-cap companies.

Conclusion

Vanguard has launched the Vanguard FTSE Global All-Cap UCITS ETF (VALL). This ETF enables investors to gain exposure to the global equities market, at a market-leading cost.

This ETF will be a key component of my portfolio going forward. However, you should understand your investment goals and horizons before investing in this fund. What works for me, may not work for you!

As always, stay invested, and happy investing!
