The Invesco FTSE All-World UCITS ETF (FWIA) is an Ireland-domiciled equity ETF managed by Invesco. FWIA represents the fund's EUR trading line on Xetra, and seeks to track the FTSE All-World Index, a benchmark comprising large- and mid-cap companies across developed and emerging markets.
FWIA follows a passive investment strategy and uses physical replication through representative sampling. The fund invests directly in a selection of equities designed to closely reflect the characteristics and performance of its benchmark.
The FTSE All-World Index provides broad exposure to global equity markets, bringing together thousands of companies across developed and emerging economies. Its methodology uses free float-adjusted market capitalization weighting and applies eligibility and liquidity requirements to determine index constituents.
Composition / Exposure Profile
FWIA holds companies across different areas of the global economy, including:
Technology.
Financials.
Industrials.
Consumer discretionary.
Health care.
Communication services.
Consumer staples.
Energy.
Materials.
Utilities.
Real estate.
Geographic exposure spans developed and emerging markets across different regions. The United States represents the largest portion of the portfolio, while markets including Japan, the United Kingdom, China, Canada, Taiwan, and India are also represented in the index universe.
Because the FTSE All-World Index is weighted by free float-adjusted market capitalization, companies and countries with larger investable market values tend to represent larger portions of the portfolio. These weights change over time as stock prices and the composition of global equity markets evolve.
Structure and Costs
The fund has the U.S. dollar as its base currency, while FWIA trades in EUR on Xetra. The same accumulating share class also has other trading lines, including FWRA in USD and FWRG in GBP/GBX on the London Stock Exchange. The trading currency does not change the portfolio's underlying economic exposure or provide currency hedging.
The ETF has ongoing charges of 0.15% per year, uses physical replication through representative sampling, and is domiciled in Ireland. It operates as part of Invesco Markets II plc under the UCITS framework.
FWIA follows an accumulating income policy. Dividends received from portfolio companies are therefore reinvested within the fund rather than periodically distributed to shareholders.
