Frequently asked questions
Is Amundi or VanEck cheaper?+
Amundi offers the cheapest fund in 4 of the 4 categories both cover, against 0 for VanEck. But "cheaper overall" is the wrong question: what matters is which is cheaper in the category you are actually buying.

Yes. Amundi's products in this catalog are 100% accumulating and 89% physically replicated, domiciled in Luxembourg, France, Ireland. VanEck's are 91% accumulating and 100% physical, domiciled in Ireland, Netherlands. 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.
