It belongs to the MSCI World family. The MSCI World groups large and mid-cap companies from 23 developed countries. According to MSCI's official factsheet (data as of 31 August 2026), it has 1,280 constituents and covers roughly 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalisation in each country. The United States is 72.14%, Japan 5.78%, the UK 3.53% and Canada 3.46%.

Stated objective, as published by Financial Times:

The Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital by tracking the performance of the Index. To the extent practicable, the Fund uses a full replication strategy to select securities, so that the Fund invests in all the constituents of the Index, making the weight of such investments approximate those of the Index.

Financial Times

The detail most often missed: the MSCI World does not include emerging markets. No China, no India, no Brazil. If you want that part, you have to add it separately with an emerging-markets product, or move to an index like the FTSE All-World that already covers them.

Comparing only the index funds in this family that publish their ongoing charge (5), the cheapest charges 0.06% and the most expensive 0.30%. Vanguard Global Stock Index Fund EUR Acc sits at 0.18%.
