Best-Selling ETFs of May 2023

Discover the most-bought ETFs on the major investment platforms

By Boring Money

14 June, 2023

Top of the Pops: popular ETFs across all 4 providers. This article brings you the most-bought ETFs on each of the major investment platforms in May 2023. If you can’t face reading through it all, we start with the most popular ETFs across the board.

Most popular ETFs of May 2023Most popular ETFs of May 2023

Top ETFs across all 4 platforms are: Vanguard S&P 500 UCITS ETF (VUSA), iShares Core FTSE 100 ETF GBP Dist (ISF), Vanguard S&P 500 (VUAG), Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF (VWRL) and iShares Physical Gold ETC (SGLN)

iShares Physical Gold continues to remain popular, alongside a host of other S&P 500 and FTSE trackers, as gold is often seen as a hedge against inflation, and is hence seen as an investment which can protect your wealth from being eroded in value. The jury is still out on how well this actually works - although the ETF has shown strong performance over the last 5 years.

There is a lot of consensus at the moment, with 4 ETFs appearing in the bestseller lists across 4 major platforms. These are either funds which track the US S&P 500 index, a generalist global index tracker and a fund which tracks the price of gold. Long-term investors who want a cheap way to access a mixed bag of global investments – and then leave it alone – could do a lot worse than to consider the Vanguard FTSE All-World ETF. The usual caveats of remembering that investments can and will go up and down apply – and as always these should be seen as long-term investments not overnight punts.
