A great UBS World ETF?

Low TER (0.21%).

Vanguard’s VT is twice lower at 0.1% and mix-and-match from their regional ETFs is even cheaper

Domiciled in Ireland and an UCITS label, so dividend withholding tax is kinda low (al explained in this other mustachian post) and I needn’t worry about how to trade and tax-declare it.

No it means you get double taxed on half the dividends. But yeah you can just pay up more than you have to and not worry about it I guess, ignorance is bliss

  • Base currency and hedged in CHF.

3+% annual expense for hedging with dubious long-term benefit

Done by UBS which I think means that I can buy arbitrary amounts at CHF 9 per transaction at Swissquote.

Haha, good one. Even though transaction fee looks kind of ok, you forgot Stempelabgabe, #1 reason alone to forget about swiss brokers existence
