Is it intentional that you want to overweight EM if you have an EM ETF in addition to the AllWorld? For me, the EM component in $VWRL would actually be enough and not add to it.

@Dividenden-Sammler I was of the opinion that the $VWRL did not cover the EM components over such a large area, so I added the EM.

@patrick0NTour you may be thinking of MSCI world. This only has industrialized countries

@patrick0NTour Yes, exactly as @LarryLindt wrote - in a 70/30 or 80/20 strategy, you combine an MSCI World ETF with an EM ETF, as the MSCI World only covers the industrialized countries. A combination of the two is the FTSE AllWorld, which already includes the developing countries. It allows you to combine the two ETFs into one and you don't have to pay attention to the weighting.
If you want to go one step further, take an ACWI ETF (All Country World Index). In addition to the large caps, this also includes small caps, which are not yet included in the 3 MSCI World, EM and FTSE AllWorld indices mentioned above - these only cover the large caps.

@Dividenden-Sammler Thank you for the explanation. Then I will sell the EM and put it in the World.
