Frequently asked questions
Is Amundi or Franklin Templeton cheaper?+
It depends on the category — they tie overall, each offering the cheapest fund in 1 of the 2 categories both cover. Compare the specific category you want rather than the provider as a whole.
Where is the difference between Amundi and Franklin Templeton biggest?+

Which one has the wider range?+
Amundi, with 18 products against 5. Coverage is not identical either: Amundi covers global equities, the technology sector, European equities, gold, the US market, sustainable (ESG) criteria, a specific thematic sector where Franklin Templeton does not.
Are there structural differences beyond fees?+
Yes. Amundi's products in this catalog are 100% accumulating and 89% physically replicated, domiciled in Luxembourg, France, Ireland. Franklin Templeton's are 80% accumulating and 100% physical, domiciled in Ireland. For a Spanish investor the accumulating/distributing split matters for tax, and domicile matters for dividend withholding.
Does this comparison look at past performance?+
No, deliberately. Two funds tracking the same index deliver almost identical returns before fees, so comparing their past returns tells you about the index, not about the provider. The fee is the part the provider actually controls, and the only one you know for certain the day you invest.
Cost and coverage comparison computed over this site’s catalog, which is a sample and not each provider’s full product range. Returns are not compared: two funds tracking the same index perform almost identically before fees, so past performance tells you about the index, not the provider.
