Global all in one equity tracker with strong diversification and very lean ongoing costs

Report created on Apr 12, 2026

Risk profile

  • Secure
    Speculative

The risk profile, derived from past market volatility, reflects the level of risk the portfolio is exposed to. This assessment helps align your investments with your financial goals and comfort with market fluctuations.

Diversification profile

  • Focused
    Diversified

The diversification assessment evaluates the spread of investments across asset classes, regions, and sectors. This ensures a balanced mix, reducing risk and maximizing returns by not concentrating in any single area.

Positions

The portfolio is as simple as it gets: one global equity ETF at 100% weight. That means every pound is invested in stocks around the world through a single, broadly diversified fund, with no bonds, cash, or alternatives. Simplicity like this is powerful because it’s easy to understand, monitor, and maintain. You’re basically buying a slice of thousands of companies in one shot. The flip side is that there’s no built‑in cushion from steadier assets, so the ride will reflect equity markets quite closely. For someone comfortable with ups and downs in pursuit of long‑term growth, this kind of “one‑fund” setup can work very well.

Growth Info

Historically, £1,000 grew to about £2,010 over the period, giving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.95%. CAGR is like your portfolio’s “average speed” per year over the whole journey. That’s almost identical to the global market benchmark and only slightly below the US market, which has been unusually strong. The maximum drawdown, about -25%, was sharp but in line with major indices and fully recovered within six months. This shows the fund has behaved like a true global equity proxy: strong long‑run growth, but with meaningful short‑term drops that investors need to be emotionally ready to sit through.

Projection Info

The Monte Carlo projection uses many randomised paths based on historical returns to see a wide range of possible futures. Think of it as “re‑rolling” history 1,000 different ways to estimate where a £1,000 investment might end up over 15 years. The median outcome is around £2,655, with most simulations falling between roughly £1,744 and £4,116. A smaller slice of simulations show much weaker or much stronger results. This illustrates both the power and uncertainty of equity investing: long‑term returns are attractive on average, but there’s no guarantee your actual path will match the median, especially over shorter horizons or unusual market periods.

Asset classes Info

  • Stocks
    100%

All of the portfolio is in stocks, with 0% allocated to bonds, cash, or other asset classes. Equity‑only portfolios tend to have higher expected returns over long periods because they own productive businesses, but they also experience larger swings than mixes that include bonds or cash. For someone with a moderate risk score, being fully in equities might feel punchier than the label suggests during sharp downturns. On the positive side, this clean, single‑asset‑class exposure is very well diversified within global equities and aligns nicely with growth‑focused strategies that don’t need near‑term stability from fixed income.

Sectors Info

  • Technology
    26%
  • Financials
    17%
  • Industrials
    11%
  • Consumer Discretionary
    10%
  • Health Care
    9%
  • Telecommunications
    8%
  • Consumer Staples
    5%
  • Basic Materials
    4%
  • Energy
    4%
  • Utilities
    3%
  • Real Estate
    2%

Sector exposure is well spread, with technology around a quarter of the portfolio, followed by meaningful allocations to financials, industrials, consumer sectors, and health care. This looks broadly in line with mainstream global equity indices, which is a good sign that you’re not making a big sector bet by accident. A higher tech share can boost returns when innovation and digital businesses do well, but it can also increase sensitivity to interest rates and sentiment toward growth companies. Overall, though, the sector mix here is balanced enough that no single part of the economy dominates in an extreme way.

Regions Info

  • North America
    63%
  • Europe Developed
    15%
  • Japan
    6%
  • Asia Developed
    6%
  • Asia Emerging
    5%
  • Australasia
    2%
  • Africa/Middle East
    1%
  • Latin America
    1%

Geographically, about 63% of exposure is to North America, with the rest spread across developed Europe, Japan, other developed Asia, and emerging regions. That North American tilt is very similar to common global indices, reflecting the size and depth of that market rather than a specific active bet. The benefit is strong diversification across many economies and currencies, which can help if one region underperforms. The trade‑off is that returns will still be heavily influenced by the US in particular, so big moves there will drive the overall portfolio. For a UK‑based investor, there’s also currency exposure, which can add extra volatility in £ terms.

Market capitalization Info

  • Mega-cap
    49%
  • Large-cap
    34%
  • Mid-cap
    16%

By market cap, roughly half the portfolio is in mega‑caps, a third in large‑caps, and the remainder in mid‑caps. Mega‑caps tend to be more stable and widely followed, often dampening some volatility compared with a very small‑cap‑heavy portfolio. Mid‑caps, on the other hand, can offer a bit more growth potential and diversification, as they’re less dominant in global indices. This mix is very typical of broad market trackers and suggests you’re getting exposure across the corporate size spectrum without leaning heavily into higher‑risk small companies. It’s a well‑balanced structure from a size perspective that aligns with global market weights.

    • LS 1x Tesla Tracker ETP Securities GBP
    • Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF USD Accumulation
  • Top 10 total 22.17%

Looking through the ETF’s top holdings, the largest exposures are to familiar mega‑cap names such as NVIDIA, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, and other tech‑related giants. Together, the visible top names only cover around 22% of the portfolio, so there is still a long tail of smaller positions beyond the top ten. Overlap risk is low here because there’s only one fund; hidden concentration mainly comes from how much index weight the very largest companies hold. That’s normal for broad global trackers today, but it does mean portfolio performance will be noticeably influenced by the fortunes of a handful of mega‑caps.

Risk contribution Info

  • Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF USD Accumulation
    Weight: 100.00%
    100.0%

With just one holding, risk contribution is straightforward: the ETF accounts for 100% of the portfolio’s ups and downs. Risk contribution measures how much each position drives total volatility, which can be very different from its weight in more complex portfolios. Here, weight and risk are perfectly aligned, so there’s no hidden concentration in a single stock or satellite fund. Instead, all the underlying diversification happens inside the ETF itself. The key takeaway is that your overall risk level is set almost entirely by the decision to be 100% in global equities, not by fine‑tuning individual positions or sleeves.

Ongoing product costs Info

  • Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF USD Accumulation 0.19%
  • Weighted costs total (per year) 0.19%

The ongoing cost, or TER, of 0.19% per year is impressively low for a global equity fund. TER (Total Expense Ratio) is the annual fee the fund charges, taken directly from returns. Keeping costs down is one of the few levers investors fully control, and even small differences compound meaningfully over decades. At 0.19%, you’re already in a very efficient spot for such broad coverage. This cost level supports strong long‑term performance because less of your return is lost to fees each year. From a cost perspective, the portfolio structure is doing exactly what it should and aligns well with best practices.
