Unlike QQQ or SP500, VUE is not excessively overweight a few stocks.

TSMC is the largest at 2.2%, Tencent is 1.3%, everything else is below 1%. The top 10 positions are below 10%. While Tech stocks dominate the top 10, pharma, food, luxury goods and oil and gas are also represented.

Unlike QQQ, you are not overly exposed to a handful of stocks in a single sector.

An equal weight world ETF, even if available, will likely have a much higher expense ratio than VUE’s 4 bp which will very likely lead to underperforming VUE.

I respectfully suggest that VUE is a good enough choice for non-US equity.
