Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World Index Ex-U.S. - MSCI ACWI Ex-U.S.

If you are trying to balance your portfolio, the MSCI (Morgan Stanley Capital International) ACWI (All Country World Index) ETF (exchange traded fund) isn’t a bad place to start. For short, the MSCI ACWI ETF (you got it. Just think of it like a football chant, and it’s easier to remember…”M-S-C-I *clap, clap, clap-clap-clap* A-C-W-I…”)

It covers equity returns from 23 developed countries and 24 emerging markets (now that’s something to cheer about). Because it’s an index fund, that means it correlates with an index—the MSCI World index, in this case. As an ETF, it’s a great pick for your everyday investor since you get the benefits of a mutual fund, but with lower costs and more flexibility (another great reason to clap!). Claps all around for MSCI ACWI ETF, fellas.
