People may advise you to invest in IWDA, but your broker only lists SWDA. You go to the iShares profile of the funds and discover that there are no distinctions between IWDA and SWDA, which adds to the uncertainty. What’s the catch, exactly?
A ticker symbol is a stock’s unique identity on a stock exchange. Because a ticker symbol is exchange-dependent, a fund that is listed on multiple stock exchanges may have different ticker symbols. Euronext Amsterdam’s ticker symbol for the iShares Core MSCI World ETF is IWDA, SIX Swiss Exchange’s ticker symbol is SWDA, and XETRA’s ticker symbol is EUNL.
Furthermore, if a fund is traded in multiple countries, it may have distinct tickers even on the same stock exchange. When traded in USD, the iShares Core MSCI World ETF has the ticker symbol IWDA, while when traded in GBP, it has the ticker symbol SWDA.
In justETF, the listings page shows where the fund is listed, as well as the trade currency and ticker symbol.
Because ticker symbols are exchange-dependent, the International Securities Identifying Number (ISIN) can be used to uniquely identify a fund (ISIN). IE00B4L5Y983 is the ISIN for the iShares Core MSCI World ETF.
What exactly is an IWDA track?
The goal of investing is to have a better future retirement. Consider retirement like a pyramid: you’ll need a strong foundation to build on. CPF is my rock-solid foundation, followed by global index funds (IWDA) and local index funds (STI ETF)
- The percentage to be invested in stocks is 110 minus your age, with the rest in bonds (CPF)
Contributions to the CPF RSTU and MA can help you save money on taxes. https://www.areyouready.sg/YourInfoHub/Pages/Ne…
If you meet FRS early, the government will provide the majority of your CPF funds during retirement. (Compounding interests, Rule 72)
You’ll eventually run against FRS and MA caps, so why not take advantage of this opportunity to save money on your taxes?
- IWDA is a London Stock Exchange-based index fund that tracks the MSCI World index.
Is there a dividend from IWDA?
In the global category, the IWDA ETF and VRWA ETF automatically reinvest dividends, as previously stated. Unfortunately, this feature is not accessible for local indexes in general.
Dividends are paid twice a year for local stock indexes and once a year for bond ETFs in January. The normal distribution dates for local ETFs are listed below.
As a result, depending on which STI fund an investor owns, the targeted rebalancing dates might be set to coincide with the dividend delivery periods. Maybe January and July. Strategically designed to minimise the amount of effort required while reinvesting their money into the market as soon as possible, putting their money to work for them!
Stay tuned for the final installment of this series, in which we’ll go over which brokerages and institutions you may utilize to buy these ETFs.

What exactly is a UCITS ETF?
UCITS refers to a set of voluntary rules that many ETFs adhere to. UCITS-compliant ETFs must adhere to certain minimal requirements, such as maintaining a diverse portfolio, issuing clear instructions on their fees, and taking precautions to protect investors’ funds. Some ETPs, such as ETCs, ETNs, and US-listed products, are not qualified for UCITS requirements. Non-UCITS products are not always riskier than UCITS goods, but if a product is not UCITS compliant, you should study the relevant issuers’ documents carefully.
