ETF index comparison
VWCE vs SSAC
Compare two accumulating ETFs tracking different indices: their market coverage, quoted costs and the available live overlap evidence. Country tax treatment is outside this comparison.
Issuer facts and quoted fund charges are the same in every country. No tax is calculated.
Product facts and cost arithmetic only. No investor-tax or fund-withholding outcome is calculated.

A listing currency is the currency of the exchange trade. It does not establish currency hedging or the currencies of the underlying businesses. No investor currency or exchange rate is assumed here.
OCF and TER are the issuer’s reported cost measures, shown under their original labels. They exclude some costs and are not a quote for your broker. Spreads, dealing/FX charges, liquidity, fund-level withholding and investor tax remain outside this comparison.

Live holdings overlap
Sample split: 50% in each ETF. The preview reports overlap between fund weights; this is not a percentage of the combined portfolio.
The live preview compares the two funds’ published holdings. Nothing is requested until you select the button.

VWCE tracks FTSE All-World; SSAC tracks MSCI All Country World Index (Net). Both cover developed and emerging markets and accumulate income. Their providers use different index rules, so constituents and weights can differ.
Different indices can still hold many of the same securities. Combining two funds does not by itself establish diversification; holdings dates and data coverage matter.
A cost-only illustration
Fictional €10,000 starting balance, zero gross return, no contributions or withdrawals, the quoted annual charge held constant for 20 years. This isolates the charge; it does not forecast either fund’s return.
- VWCE
- First-year charge at a constant balance: 14.00 EUR
- Balance after 20 years: 9,723.69 EUR
- Difference from no charges: 276.31 EUR
- SSAC
- First-year charge at a constant balance: 20.00 EUR
- Balance after 20 years: 9,607.51 EUR
- Difference from no charges: 392.49 EUR
Method: first year = 10,000 × charge; final balance = 10,000 × (1 − charge)^20. No tax, spreads, trading fees or FX conversion. Equal quoted charges give equal results in this restricted illustration.
