How far the ETF was below its previous high at each point: the depth and length of the falls a holder would have lived through.
Compared with IWDA it adds emerging markets, which slightly reduces the US weight and increases the number of holdings. Compared with VWCE it covers the same ground with a different index family: the most visible difference is South Korea, classed as emerging by MSCI and developed by FTSE. Its TER is higher than VWCE's after Vanguard's 2026 fee cut.
