So Emaxis Slim All Country seems like the best option, which means that I have to go with Monex. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But I started iDeCo before I knew that, so I'm personally with SBI and split between emaxis slim developed / emerging / Japan. It I was starting again I'd probably go with Monex too.

Added! It looks very similar to eMaxis-Slim All Country. Same as MUFG, they track the MSCI ACWI index via three mother funds (Developed, Emerging, Japan), and like MUFG but unlike SBI and Rakuten, they manage those funds themselves rather than wrapping up US ETFs.

When my wife set up her iDeco at Mizuho Tawara funds were the only foreign funds that were not a huge rip-off.
