OriginaveMSCI ACWI Index
What the MSCI ACWI Index is, where it lives officially, and how its ride has looked over the years.
What does the MSCI ACWI Index track?
ACWI stands for All Country World Index: about 2,500 large and mid-sized companies across 23 developed and 24 emerging markets, maintained by MSCI.
One number for "how did the world's stock markets do today" — the US is the biggest slice, but Japan, Europe, China and many others are in the basket too.
MSCI
Every figure here is in euros — what you'd actually pocket buying on Xetra. Fund fact sheets usually headline returns in US dollars, which can look very different: in 2025 a world tracker rose about 23% in dollars but only about 9% in euros, because the euro gained roughly 13% against the dollar. Here's the full story, year by year.
