In this video, we go through the new global ETF inside my Stocks & Shares ISA: the Xtrackers FTSE All World.
Ticker symbol – ALLG.
This is a relatively new ETF that’s been around since April 2026, currently the joint lowest global ETF on the market with a 0.07% fee, and it tracks the FTSE All World index.
Note: this video was produced before Vanguard’s new VALL ETF came onto the market at the end of August 2026.
However, I’m going to continue to stick to ALLG + a small cap value fund inside this Stocks & Shares ISA portfolio.

(However FYI – if I do end up switching from VAFTGAG to VALL in my Vanguard portfolio I’ll let you know on my channel!)
What do you make of this new global ETF? Is anything else investing in it?

Hi I'm a new subscriber. Thanks for the fascinating videos. I'm also new to all the investmenting etc. Could you please do a video of how you would rebalance in this scenario of this ISA investment in this video? I would also love to see how you would rebalance in a scenario of 87 index / 25 Bonds or something like the Armundi overnight sonia– to be able to take advantage of swings. Seperately whether that self managed setup would compare to something like a fund of HSBC Global Strategy Balanced C
Why did you invest in ALLW instead of ALLG? ALLW is in US$, while ALLG is exactly the same but in £. I have just created a pie 2 months with ALLG, FWRG, XDEV and PSRW and ALLG, even though ALLG is the cheapest one, it has fallen behind all the others (the only comparable is FWRG, the other two track World Value Stocks in two different ways and so far they return much better than the usual suspects.
They are all much of a muchness. Pick one stay with it invest regularly
Noting that was recorded before VALL was released but if you were buying now, would it be this one of VALL?
For over a year, you kept emphasizing the "global all-cap" approach—calling it the true and best 100% global investment—even though it simply didn't exist as an ETF; now, you've just completely lost all your enthusiasm, haha.
And on top of that, you were actually against investing in super, super new ETFs like this one, for example—haha. Did you change your mind?
Vall will be the largest fund thus the bid/offer spread will become tighter over time making most other all world ETFs redundant. Couple that with the fee fact that small caps are included means it’s the total market. If you chose a fund without small caps then you are making the decision that they will underperform. No one knows if they will or not.
Vall to rule them all as the a.u.m. are exploding, somewhere near 800m quid thus far.
Why have you decided to go with those two rather than VALL? Especially with them both being new as fees are similar
what happened to your excitement of VALL (and chill) and the t-shirts……..
the VALL is already nearly 1 Billion USD.
Slow down, buddy. You're gabbling…
Just out of curiosity any reason why you didn’t VALL and chill? Lol I’m assuming you’ve already got similar coverage through VAFTGAG and that you chose this fund as
You didn’t want exposure to small caps…or is it that you may consider switching the vaftgag funds you hold within your sipp to vall at some point in the future …since vall has launched, which hasn’t been that long, it already holds AUM of almost 3/4 of a £1bn and tracks the ftse, seems like a good start.
It depends who is paying for the advert.
Not bad at all. I use ftaw (ishare blackrock). Don’t want small cap.
Why would you not just buy the WEBN (Amundi Prime all country world) etf? Same fee-rate 2 year ongoing and twice the amohnt of stock already in the fund.
Just curious
I was 100% in this fund, but since Vanguard launched VALL I’ve split my ISA 50/50. Half is in VALL, and the other half is in a pie made up of 80% MXWS, 10% MXFP and 10% AVSG.
The overall cost is about the same, so I’m interested to see whether the active approach to small-cap selection makes any meaningful difference over the long term.
I’m curious as to the Ireland allocation being 4.5%?
I’ll stick with VALL N CHILL 😎
Got xtrackers ftse and vanguard all cap 0.07 100 pound each a month just leave it forever
Mixing indexs being tracked/benchmarked (MSCI versus FTSE). I saw AVSG. Providers definition of small is different. Also will be underweight Emerging markets. Likely minor but important to be aware and intentional.
