Frequently asked questions
Is Fidelity or JPMorgan cheaper?+
Fidelity offers the cheapest fund in 5 of the 6 categories both cover, against 1 for JPMorgan. But "cheaper overall" is the wrong question: what matters is which is cheaper in the category you are actually buying.
Where is the difference between Fidelity and JPMorgan biggest?+
In the technology sector: Fidelity Global Technology charges 1.00% against 0.35% for JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income. On €10,000 invested that is a €65.00 difference every year, in favour of JPMorgan.
Which one has the wider range?+
Fidelity, with 10 products against 7. Coverage is not identical either: Fidelity covers the Japanese market, sustainable (ESG) criteria where JPMorgan does not.
Are there structural differences beyond fees?+
Yes. Fidelity's products in this catalog are 80% accumulating and 100% physically replicated, domiciled in Ireland, Luxembourg. JPMorgan's are 57% 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.
