TER is not unimportant, because you can deduct the percentage from the return of the index that the ETF tracks.
However, since other factors also determine how well an ETF tracks an index, it is always worth taking a look at the so-called tracking difference.
Just google "World ETF Tracking Difference" to find out more.
The broker, fund volume and age can also play a role in the decision.
There are many good variants of the World ETF.

@Fabzy Thanks for your reply and the tip. I was just wondering as the Vanguard seems very cheap at 0.12. Others have quite high costs at 0.5. I would be interested to know which ETF (Dist) you would take.

@LeoHund I can't make a recommendation because I chose my accumulator more than 2 years ago. Today at least I wouldn't just look at the TER.
In any case, should it only be a World without emerging markets or rather an All-World?

@Fabzy in any case a distributor and preferably without emerging markets or with a small share like the Vanguard FTSE I posted

@LeoHund The one you posted is the Developed Markets, by definition excluding emerging markets.
More precisely, according to the FTSE definition, excluding emerging markets. MSCI, on the other hand, has its own definitions. For example, South Korea is an industrialized country in the FTSE Development and is therefore included, while it is an emerging country in the MSCI World and is therefore not included.
A distributing all-in-one solution that would certainly not go wrong would be $VWRL. So now the All-World with 10% emerging markets.

@Fabzy thanks for your feedback, I'll be happy to take a look. Yes, emerging markets like to be defined :)
