Amundi Stoxx Europe 600 vs iShares Core FTSE 100
Amundi Stoxx Europe 600 tracks STOXX Europe 600 and iShares Core FTSE 100 tracks FTSE 100. 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 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.

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.

Which one will perform better?+

Which one is cheaper?+
Their fees are effectively identical (0.07% vs 0.07%), so cost should not decide this one. Look at index coverage, distribution policy and availability at your broker instead.
Accumulating or distributing?+
Amundi Stoxx Europe 600 is accumulating (dividends are reinvested inside the fund) and iShares Core FTSE 100 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.
