The VWRP ticker represents the GBP-denominated London Stock Exchange listing of the Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF (USD) Accumulating, an Ireland-domiciled equity ETF managed by Vanguard.
The fund seeks to track the performance of the FTSE All-World Index, a benchmark composed of large- and mid-cap companies across developed and emerging markets.
VWRP provides broad global equity exposure across the United States, Europe, Asia, and emerging markets. The fund follows a passive investment strategy and uses physical replication by investing in a representative sample of securities included in its benchmark. It operates under the UCITS framework and follows an accumulating income policy.
The FTSE All-World Index includes approximately 4,200 large- and mid-cap stocks across developed and emerging markets in more than 45 countries. It represents around 90% to 95% of the world's investable equity market capitalization and weights its constituents based on free-float-adjusted market capitalization.
Composition / Exposure Profile
VWRP holds thousands of companies across a broad range of economic sectors, including:
Technology.
Financials.
Industrials.
Consumer discretionary.
Health care.

Consumer staples.
Energy.
Materials.
Utilities.
Real estate.
The portfolio has its largest geographic exposure to the United States, while also providing exposure to markets such as Japan, the United Kingdom, Taiwan, Canada, China, Switzerland, France, Germany, and India.
Because the benchmark is weighted by free-float-adjusted market capitalization, larger companies account for greater portions of the portfolio. As a result, the relative weight of individual countries, sectors, and companies changes as global equity markets evolve.
Structure and Costs
VWRP trades in British pounds on the London Stock Exchange, while the fund's base currency is the U.S. dollar. The same share class also trades in U.S. dollars on the London Stock Exchange under the VWRA ticker and has additional listings in other currencies and markets.
The fund has an ongoing charges figure of 0.19% per year, following a fee reduction implemented by Vanguard in 2025. The ongoing charges cover management fees and service costs associated with operating the fund.
