Vanguard Total World Stock ETF

The Vanguard Total World Stock ETF is an exchange-traded fund offered by the US-based asset manager Vanguard that aims to represent all of the world's stock markets in a single fund. According to the issuer, the fund aims to track the performance of the FTSE Global All Cap Index and trades on US exchanges under the ticker VT.

The FTSE Global All Cap Index covers large, mid and small-cap companies in the US, Europe, Japan and other developed markets, as well as in emerging countries such as China, India, Taiwan and Brazil. Because companies are weighted in the index by size, US stocks make up a markedly large portion of the portfolio. The fund is passively managed and tries to approach the index return by selecting a highly representative sample rather than buying every index constituent one-for-one. Dividends are distributed periodically.

VT's course is driven by factors such as global growth, fluctuations in the dollar, the performance gap between the US and other regions, and the weight of technology companies. Its market price may briefly differ from the fund's net asset value (NAV). The VT page on Lzzo.com features the price in US dollars, conversion into Turkish lira, euros and pounds sterling, a historical price chart and technical indicators; the source of the data and the time it was updated are also stated.
