Come on, let's play a game, I'll exchange a few words and tell me what's wrong with it:

I have been investing in the [ $IWDA ] since the beginning of my career (almost 8 months) and compared the Etf with [ $CSPX ] as a benchmark. I noticed that an [ MSCI World ] can't really keep up with it.

Now my question: do you have [ Europe / Asia ] in your portfolio, if so why? and would you recommend switching, if so why?

@PowerWordChill Have I worded something wrong? 😂 I'm not looking through at the moment. I found GeldGenie's answer a bit more helpful

@userb146446ad9374ab6 why are you investing in the ACWI and not in the MSCI World or S&P500, why did you decide to do so 8 months ago?

Honestly, I have no idea. I started investing and was told that ETFs are the most important way to minimize risk. I looked at a few and decided to invest in $IWDA. A bit of technology, countries I know... and departure😂😅

@userb146446ad9374ab6 No matter what you buy, there will always be something that works better.

Why buy the ACWI when the MSCI World has done better?
Why buy the MSCI World when the MSCI World Quality has outperformed?
Why buy the MSCI World Quality if the S&P500 has performed better?
Why buy the S&P500 when the NASDAQ100 has outperformed?
Why buy the NASDAQ100 when the S&P500 Information Technology ETF has outperformed?
Why buy the S&P500 Information Technology when NVIDIA has outperformed?

What do you do if you switch into the MSCI World now and the emerging markets outperform over the next 10 years?
Back into the ACWI?

Since you don't know what will perform better in the future, I would keep the ACWI.

If you have a clear market view and think EM is a drag on returns, then buy an MSCI World, if you think Europe and Asia will continue to underperform the US, then buy an S&P500 ... and so on and so forth. 😘
