OriginaveVWRP — Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF (Acc)
Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF (Acc): what it is, what it costs, and what its GBP line on the London Stock Exchange actually returned — dividends reinvested.
Every figure here is in pounds — what you'd actually pocket buying on the London Stock Exchange. Fund fact sheets usually headline returns in US dollars, which can look very different in years when the pound moves against the dollar. Here's the full story, year by year.
VWRP in plain words
VWRP is the Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF (Acc) from Vanguard. It tracks the FTSE All-World Index and costs 0.19% a year, quietly deducted from returns. No cash payouts — VWRP is an accumulating fund. Dividends are reinvested inside the fund and show up as a higher share price instead of landing in your account.
£10,000 invested at the start of 2019 was worth £19,780 by the end of 2025 — an average of 10.2% per year over 7 full years, dividends reinvested. Its best full year so far was 2021 (+20.00%), its worst 2022 (-8.41%) — the range you sign up for.
VWRA is the London (USD) listing and VWCE the Xetra (EUR) line of the same accumulating share class, ISIN IE00BK5BQT80 — VWRP is its GBP line on the London Stock Exchange; VWRL is its distributing sibling.
