What to know before choosing
A global fund is the simplest possible answer to the question "what to invest in": it buys several thousand companies at once, so the failure of a single company is unnoticeable, and you don't have to guess which market will perform better.
Two things to note. First, "the whole world" in practice today mostly means the United States — that's how market weightings look. Second, a fund denominated in euros or dollars carries currency risk against the zloty, regardless of how the companies perform.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy these funds through a Polish broker?
Yes — this is a catalog of funds listed on European exchanges, accessible from a typical Polish brokerage account. However, the availability of a specific fund depends on your broker, and it's worth checking before placing an order.
What's the difference between an accumulating and a distributing fund?
Accumulating funds reinvest dividends internally, while distributing funds pay them out to your account. For long-term saving, accumulating funds are usually more tax-efficient because you only pay tax when you sell.
Where can I check a fund's fees and holdings?
In the ETF scanner within the Portevo app — there, numbers (TER, holdings, performance, currency) are pulled live for the selected fund.
