Hello GQ community,

I am toying with the idea of investing my MSCI ACWI $ISAC (+0.26%) and my EUROPE STOXX 600 $n/a (-0.76%) ETF core with a small cap ETF.

While searching for a small cap ETF, I stumbled across the following indices and could not find satisfactory answers.

As far as I know, the ACWI and the STOXX 600 include industrialized and emerging markets but no small caps. I deliberately chose this at the beginning so that I could control the weighting of the small caps myself at a later or future date as required.

❓The MSCI World Small Cap includes the small caps from industrialized countries that had too small a market capitalization to be included in the MSCI World, right?

❓The MSCI Emerging Markets Small Cap comprises the small caps from emerging markets that had a market capitalization too small to be included in the MSCI Emerging Markets, correct?

❓I'm not really clear on the difference between MSCI World Small Cap and MSCI Emerging Markets Small Cap.

I would be very happy if you could explain this to me😁

❓Can you give me suggestions for a global small cap ETF? I would be grateful for any help.

Best regards and many thanks in advance🫶
