Speaking of world vs US vs SP500, we already had that discussion multiple times, e.g.:

Difference between VTI and VT

I just stumbled upon this thread and thought I might add my 5 cents. It’s important to note that it isn’t a fixed 50%-50% split. It just so happens, that currently USA represents roughly 52% of the FTSE Global All Cap index, which is the index that VT follows. VT practically includes VTI plus a few thousands more companies. If the USA stock market grows at a faster rate than the rest of the World, the share of USA within VT will grow (and vice versa). FTSE Global is a market cap weighted index…

Tl;dr There were periods when ex-US outperformed US. Nobody knows if US will continue outperforming the rest. Some people think it will - like John Bogle; others don’t - like Burton Malkiel. Choose your bet yourself.
