Amundi Index MSCI World AE-C vs iShares Core MSCI World EUR Hedged

Amundi Index MSCI World AE-C tracks MSCI World and iShares Core MSCI World EUR Hedged tracks MSCI World (EUR hedged). 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.

Accumulating or distributing?+

Amundi Index MSCI World AE-C is accumulating (dividends are reinvested inside the fund) and iShares Core MSCI World EUR Hedged is distributing (dividends are paid out to you).
