VT (VT) — chart, structure and Closelooknet read

Investors in the EU and the EEA usually cannot buy VT itself: US-listed funds publish no key information document, which EU rules require. These European-domiciled funds follow the FTSE Global All Cap instead. The UCITS funds track the FTSE All-World (large and mid caps); VT tracks the FTSE Global All Cap, which adds small caps.

Physically replicating Irish-domiciled funds pay 15% withholding tax on US dividends under the US–Ireland tax treaty; funds domiciled in Luxembourg usually pay 30% — a structural difference that shows up in the tracking difference of funds holding US shares. "Same index family" means the European fund may cap its largest holdings harder than the US fund, as EU fund rules require, so the two can diverge when one heavyweight runs. “vs VT, since” = the UCITS fund’s dollar line in London against VT, total return, percentage points a year since the common start — positive means the European version returned more.
