See full VWRP details →Both VWCE and VWRPare Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs, so dividends from their US holdings are taxed at 15% under Ireland's US treaty, rather than the 30% that applies to US-domiciled funds for many non-US investors, and they sit outside US estate tax. Your own local tax still depends on where you live, so check your country's rules; for most investors the main ongoing cost to watch is each fund's annual fee.

Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper, VWCE.DE or VWRP.L?
They cost the same, 0.22% per year each, so choose based on what each fund actually holds rather than on fees.
Are VWCE.DE and VWRP.L accumulating or distributing?
VWCE.DE is accumulating, so dividends are reinvested automatically inside the fund. VWRP.L is accumulating, so dividends are reinvested automatically inside the fund. Accumulating funds suit investors who want hands-off compounding with no cash dividends to reinvest manually.
Are VWCE.DE and VWRP.L both UCITS ETFs?
Yes, both are UCITS ETFs (VWCE.DE domiciled in Ireland, VWRP.L in Ireland), so both give non-US investors the 15% US dividend withholding rate and sit outside US estate tax, unlike US-domiciled ETFs.
