What does the VWRL ETF invest in?

The VWRL ETF stands for the FTSE all-world Exchange Traded Fund (*ETF). It is an investment fund that acquires securities with the intention of tracking the performance of the FTSE All-world Index.

*An ETF is an Exchange Traded Fund. They look to track the performance of a basket of assets, commodities or, in this case, an index. An ETF is traded like shares on a stock exchange. It is a pooled investment fund. Trading CFD ETFs through cryptoburst is a derivative of the underlying product.

Weighted investments

The top 5 holdings within the fund make up 11.83% of overall investments with over a 4% allocation in Apple Inc.

VWRL Weekly Chart

The weekly chart offers two possible bullish technical formations for the ETF:

  • We look to be holding within an Expanding Wedge formation (dashed black lines). This pattern has an eventual bias to break to the upside.
  • The last rally stalled close to the 78.6% Fibonacci level of 90.07 (from 93.36 to 77.90)

If 77.90 holds (the swing low from the week 13th of June), we could see an extension to the upside to complete a Cypher pattern known as a bearish Butterfly formation.
