London Stock Exchange welcomes Invesco celebrating the launch of FTSE All-World UCITS ETF

Today, London Stock Exchange welcomes Invesco for the launch of the Invesco FTSE All-World UCITS ETF (London Stock Exchange ticker: FTWD). The global investment manager’s new ETF will track the performance of the FTSE All-World Index, which comprises more than 4,000 stocks from across the world, covering large and midcap companies in 49 developed and emerging market countries. The ETF has a charge of 0.15% per annum, making it the lowest-cost ETF for any similar exposure in Europe.

Gary Buxton, Head of EMEA ETFs and Indexed Strategies at Invesco, said:

“Global equity ETFs have attracted the strongest inflows of any category of EMEA-domiciled ETFs year to date, taking in more than £10 billion of NNA in the first five months of the year. In fact, they have gathered the most ETF assets every year since 2019. Some of these flows have been into ETFs tracking global developed market indices, but we have seen a growing trend over the past five years of individual investors looking for a simple way of gaining combined exposure to developed and emerging markets.

“We believe most of these investors are looking either for a long-term, standalone investment or a core equity holding to which they can build around for greater diversification. Perhaps even more importantly, this launch could open the door to investors who may have overlooked ETFs simply because they thought they were intended only for sophisticated professional investors. Individual investors already make up a substantial part of the US ETF market, and we are seeing this same trend developing rapidly in Europe.”

The Invesco ETF will track the index by applying a sampling approach and is available in accumulating and distributing shares, giving investors the choice of taking dividends or letting them roll up automatically within the fund. A GBP-hedged share class is also available for a charge of 0.20% per annum for investors who want to reduce the impact of currency exchange-rate fluctuations.

Investment Risks 

For complete information on risk, refer to the legal documents. 
 
The value of investments and any income will fluctuate (this may partly be the result of exchange rate fluctuations) and investors may not get back the full amount invested. As a large portion of this fund is invested in less developed countries, investors should be prepared to accept a higher degree of risk than for an ETF that invests only in developed markets. The Fund may be exposed to the risk of the borrower defaulting on its obligation to return the securities at the end of the loan period and of being unable to sell the collateral provided to it if the borrower defaults. The value of equities and equity-related securities can be affected by a number of factors including the activities and results of the issuer and general and regional economic and market conditions. This may result in fluctuations in the value of the Fund. The Fund may use Stock Connect to access China A Shares traded in Mainland China. This may result in additional liquidity risk and operational risks including settlement and default risks, regulatory risk and system failure risk.

UCITS ETF’s units / shares purchased on the secondary market cannot usually be sold directly back to UCITS ETF.
