Amundi Stoxx Europe 600 vs Vanguard FTSE 250

Amundi Stoxx Europe 600 tracks STOXX Europe 600 and Vanguard FTSE 250 tracks FTSE 250.

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 Stoxx Europe 600 and Vanguard FTSE 250?+

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 Stoxx Europe 600 has the lower annual fee. Applying the same 7% gross return to both with €300/month, that fee gap alone is worth about €569 after 20 years — that part is arithmetic, not a forecast.

Accumulating or distributing?+

Amundi Stoxx Europe 600 is accumulating (dividends are reinvested inside the fund) and Vanguard FTSE 250 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.
