Amundi Euro Corporate Bond vs Xtrackers II EUR Corporate Bond
Amundi Euro Corporate Bond tracks Markit iBoxx Euro Corporate and Xtrackers II EUR Corporate Bond tracks Bloomberg EUR Aggregate Corporate. They are realistic alternatives for the same slot in a portfolio, but because the indices are different nobody can tell you in advance which will return more. What can be compared objectively is the cost, the replication method, the domicile and how each one is structured — and that is what this page does.
What each one tracks

What the fee gap actually costs
Applying the SAME 7% gross return to both and contributing €300/month, the only thing moving the result is the TER. This is not a return forecast: it is how much the fee weighs.
| Horizon | Amundi Euro Corporate Bond | Xtrackers II EUR Corporate Bond | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 years | €51,764 | €51,764 | €0 |

Both fees are effectively identical, so cost should not decide this choice.
Nobody can know which will perform better: they track different indices and past performance is not a prediction. What is objective today is the cost, the replication, the domicile and the distribution policy.

What is the difference between Amundi Euro Corporate Bond and Xtrackers II EUR Corporate Bond?+
They track different indices: Amundi Euro Corporate Bond follows Markit iBoxx Euro Corporate and Xtrackers II EUR Corporate Bond follows Bloomberg EUR Aggregate Corporate. They also differ in cost (0.16% vs 0.16% TER), replication (physical vs physical) and domicile (Luxemburgo vs Luxemburgo).
Which one will perform better?+
Nobody can know that: they track different indices, so their returns will diverge, and past index performance is not a prediction. What you can control today is the cost, the tax structure and whether the index actually covers what you want exposure to.
Which one is cheaper?+
Their fees are effectively identical (0.16% vs 0.16%), so cost should not decide this one. Look at index coverage, distribution policy and availability at your broker instead.
Accumulating or distributing?+
Amundi Euro Corporate Bond is accumulating (dividends are reinvested inside the fund) and Xtrackers II EUR Corporate Bond is distributing (dividends are paid out to you). For long-term compounding in Spain, accumulating usually defers taxation; distributing gives you income you are taxed on each year.
Can I hold both?+
Yes. Unlike two funds tracking the identical index, these give you genuinely different exposure, so holding both is not automatically redundant — just be aware you may end up overlapping on the largest companies and doubling your rebalancing work.
