Could I ask which fund you mean by this? Could you tell me the code - I get pretty mixed up looking at Vanguard as there are just so many funds!
Thanks.
47% in FTSE Global All Cap Index Fund Accumulation
43% in LifeStrategy® 80% Equity Fund - Accumulation
10% in Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund - Accumulation
Ill probably move all 100% into the FTSE GLobal All Cap as im no longer extra bullish on UK and ill seek my EM diversification in the new platform (currently thinking Halifax might be good idea if i understand their fee structure correctly).
So Im still a bit confused - this Global Fund is not the same as VWRP or VHYL, then - but i'm not sure what the difference is as they look like they invest similarly.
I need to make a decision in the next few days as I am advising my daughter who wants a fit and almost forget option. I'd been thinking of VWRP or FCIT being suitable. (Sorry, not wanting to highjack your thread, but just wondered what the difference was between your global fund and the VWRP I had in mind)

I had a quick skim of the Vanguard fund pages and the 2 funds' investments look very similar. Only obvious/notable difference to me is that Global All Cap includes small companies as well as Med/Large. All World just says Med/Large. This can be seen in the portfolio analysis - 6895 entries in Global All Cap vs 3550 in the All World. Sector and Geography splits very similar.
All World for me - investing in smaller companies would be a specific separate thing for me, for which there are funds and indexes.
