Amundi Floating Rate USD Corporate vs Franklin Euro Green Bond

Amundi Floating Rate USD Corporate tracks Markit iBoxx USD Liquid FRN IG Corporates and Franklin Euro Green Bond tracks Bloomberg MSCI Euro Green Bond. 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

This is the underlying difference: they do not follow the same index, so their returns will diverge.

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.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Amundi Floating Rate USD Corporate and Franklin Euro Green Bond?+

They track different indices: Amundi Floating Rate USD Corporate follows Markit iBoxx USD Liquid FRN IG Corporates and Franklin Euro Green Bond follows Bloomberg MSCI Euro Green Bond. They also differ in cost (0.18% vs 0.25% TER), replication (physical vs physical) and domicile (Francia vs Irlanda).

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?+

Amundi Floating Rate USD Corporate has the lower annual fee. Applying the same 7% gross return to both with €300/month, that fee gap alone is worth about €1,304 after 20 years — that part is arithmetic, not a forecast.

Accumulating or distributing?+

Amundi Floating Rate USD Corporate is accumulating (dividends are reinvested inside the fund) and Franklin Euro Green 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.
