Following on from this forum post, it made me realise what a bargain this is for passive investors with over $100k invested in international stock indices.
Here's a fees comparison with other available index ETFs (using FTSE and/or MSCI World indices):
For $100k:
VTS/VEU combo (60/40 split): 0.046% = $46
VGS/VGE combo (90/10 split): 0.21% = $210
IWLD: 0.09% = $90
Spaceship Voyager = $30
For $1M:
VTS/VEU combo (60/40 split): 0.046% = $460
VGS/VGE combo (90/10 split): 0.21% = $2100
IWLD: 0.09% = $900
Spaceship Voyager = $30
The bargain gets bigger as the total invested assets grow.
