ETF.net Research

IOOBiShares Global 100 ETF

VTAVanguard Total World Stock ETF

In short

IOO Global investing boiled down to 100 mega-caps. Running since 2000, IOO tracks the S&P Global 100: blue chips that already sell on every continent, rather than the whole world's market.

VT One ticker, the whole investable stock market: roughly 9,800 stocks across developed and emerging markets, weighted by what the market says they're worth. There is no US-versus-international call left for you to make.

Stated mandate

IOO The Fund seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of 100 large-capitalization global equities.

VT The fund seeks to passively track the FTSE Global All Cap Index, which represents large-, mid-, and small-capitalization stocks of companies in developed and emerging markets worldwide.

Why people hold it

  • IOO Launched in 2000, one of the original global blue-chip index funds, and a multi-billion-dollar fund today.
  • Straight indexing, no manager discretion. It has tracked the S&P Global 100 very closely.ishares.com
  • At 0.40%, it runs a touch under the typical index wrapper in its peer group.
  • One ticket for global large-cap equity instead of bolting a US fund to an international one.
  • VT 0.06% a year, against a 0.45% median for the index wrappers it competes with. Worldwide coverage for a rounding error.
  • Its benchmark comes from the FTSE Global Equity Index Series, which covers 98% of the world's investable market cap: large, mid and small caps, developed and emerging alike.vanguard.com
  • Passively run with index sampling and kept fully invested. Tracking of the index has been about as tight as this cohort gets, and it trades actively enough to keep spreads thin.vanguard.com
  • Live since 2008 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund, it ranks among the strongest implementations in its peer group. Pays quarterly.

Worth knowing

  • IOO About 100 names, so a handful of mega-caps do the heavy lifting. Broad wrappers like VT own thousands.
  • 0.40% is real money beside the broad-index cheapies: VT at 0.06%, SCHK at 0.03%.
  • Income lands once or twice a year, not monthly, and volume is moderate rather than heavy.
  • VT Market-cap weighting hands the steering wheel to the market. The biggest countries and companies dominate, and those weights drift with prices, never tilting back.vanguard.comvanguard.com
  • All equity, all the time: emerging markets and unhedged foreign currency come with the package, and there is no bond sleeve to cushion a selloff.
  • Single-market index funds shave the fee further (SCHK at 0.03%, SPYV at 0.04%). Global reach costs a couple of basis points more.
