Vanguard Global Stocks FTSE now in the 0% plan
To offer you a range of broadly diversified, high-quality ETFs, including the industry's leading players, we’ve partnered with Vanguard. We are excited to enhance our selection of 0% Plan FTSE assets, which you can buy with zero trading fees as part of a neon investment plan.
Vanguard, the pioneer
Vanguard was founded in 1975 on the idea that an investment company should manage its funds solely in the interests of its clients. Vanguard’s unique mutual ownership structure in the US, where the company is owned by its clients, means that interests are aligned with those of its investors globally.
As a result, investors in Europe benefit from Vanguard’s commitment to putting investors’ interests first. The ownership structure underpins the firm’s core purpose: to take a stand for all investors, treat them fairly and give them the best chance for investment success.
Today, Vanguard manages 12.5 trillion USD in assets globally (as of 28.02.2026), with more than three quarters of that in index-tracking products. They pioneered equity index investing for individual investors back in 1976, then with bond index funds in 1986 – and they've stayed true to that philosophy ever since. Vanguard is known for its simple, cost-effective ETFs and tight index tracking. No niche products, no trend-chasing – just a focused range of 33 ETFs, built to give Swiss investors broad diversification at low fees.
New: Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF via the neon investment plan – 0% trading fees (terms apply)
Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF – (USD) Accumulating, launched in 2019, tracks the FTSE All-World Index. The index comprises more than 3'700 stocks from large and medium-sized companies across developed and emerging markets worldwide. With over 63 billion USD in assets under management, it is one of the largest ETF tracking this index globally, and one of the most established broad-market ETFs available to individual investors today (Source: Vanguard, AUM as at 14 April 2026).
Its product cost (TER: Total Expense Ratio – see the definition at the end of this article) amounts to 0.19% of the invested amount per year. This ETF uses physical replication to track the FTSE-All World Index, meaning the fund actually buys the underlying stocks, using sampling to manage the index efficiently. And the ETF is ‘accumulating’, so dividends from the companies held by the ETF are automatically reinvested in the fund – you don’t need to do anything. You can see all the product's details on its factsheet (ISIN: IE00BK5BQT80).
Good news: From 27.04.2026 onwards, when you buy one of these FTSE ETFs every month via a neon investment plan in the app, the same logic applies as to any of our «0% Plan assets»: You pay no trading fees (you pre-pay, but we refund you afterwards). As we also have no custody account fee for neon invest, the only fees you pay are the state stamp duty, and the product costs (TER/OCF).

In June, we’ll be sharing more details on high-dividend ETFs (‘global high dividend stocks’) – so stay tuned!
What’s the TER again?
The total expense ratio (TER), or ongoing charges figure (OCF), is the sum of investment management fees (the fees paid to the portfolio manager to invest your money and manage the fund) and administrative and other expenses (which cover all costs and expenses connected with the operation of the fund, which includes administrative fees, shareholder’s registration and transfer agency fees, custody fees and all other operating expenses).
