Amundi US Treasury Bond 7-10Y vs iShares Core € Govt Bond

Amundi US Treasury Bond 7-10Y tracks Bloomberg US Treasury 7-10 Year and iShares Core € Govt Bond tracks Bloomberg Euro Treasury. 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.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Amundi US Treasury Bond 7-10Y and iShares Core € Govt Bond?+

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 US Treasury Bond 7-10Y has the lower annual fee. Applying the same 7% gross return to both with €300/month, that fee gap alone is worth about €190 after 20 years — that part is arithmetic, not a forecast.

Accumulating or distributing?+

Amundi US Treasury Bond 7-10Y is accumulating (dividends are reinvested inside the fund) and iShares Core € Govt 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.
