With over 3000 holdings, this fund tracks an index of large and medium sized companies from around the world. Income will be distributed as cash.
This is arguably one of the best investment options for the long term without a doubt. Those that are new should put plenty in VWRL.
Also good idea Anton! Was wondering that myself.

With all those currencies swimming around, it worth thinking about a hedged version of VWRL?

VWRL is more of a long term investment, over time any FX gains or losses will offset each other.

It’s funny because I do myself really, as any cash given to me i will throw straight back into the fund, but I’ve started with this one now can’t be bothered to change

I wonder is there a possibility of a Stock Split with this ETF - It almost hitting a £100 a Share

These were all trading between $120 and $240 (ish) pre split so VWRL must be getting close.

Are there any advantages to signing up on here as opposed to buying directly from Vanguard? E.g. they charge a (small) yearly fee. Just wondering as I hold a small amount with Vanguard but will move to here if it makes sense.
Hi @JamesA01
Welcome welcome welcome 
It’ll depend on what you plan to invest in, if it’s just vanguard fund then the key is the platform fees.
Freetrade ISA = £3p/M
Vanguard ISA = 0.15%
£24,000 is the magic number, as soon as your portfolio crosses this line it’s cheaper to use Freetrade

Hi Neil,
Very informative. Thank you very much!

You may choose to move before you reach this threshold to gain improvement to the UI as Vangaurd is pretty poor, by their own admission.
You also have access to other funds from different providers that might work better when building a balanced portfolio.

Agreed - I love the funds they provide but it is not the most user-friendly interface I have ever seen!
Will this go down to 57 again on this drop? Just looking from each time it has dropped significantly, its gone down to 57ish.
I know the covid drop was intense, but with the number of stocks dropping ie all of them 
How do people know when the stock bottoms out, without looking at gistorical lows as a guide?
They don’t. You can’t use the past to guide you especially as the reasons for this drop are unrelated to for e.g. the pandemic one.
You could make some educated guesses by looking at options, forex movements and adjustments to major bond yields.
If we knew exactly in advance then we would all be super rich.

Thanks, i suspected i was asking a stupid question. i heard someone on a YouTube video talking about indexes or something, and the way he explained it sounded like he was looking for certain prices to know when things will bounce.
I’ve obviously misunderstood what he meant, but thought I’d ask on here anyway.
Thankyou for the reply.
