Frequently asked questions
Is Global X or Invesco cheaper?+
Invesco offers the cheapest fund in 2 of the 3 categories both cover, against 1 for Global X. 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 Global X and Invesco biggest?+
In gold: Global X Uranium charges 0.65% against 0.12% for Invesco Physical Gold A. On €10,000 invested that is a €53.00 difference every year, in favour of Invesco.
Which one has the wider range?+
Invesco, with 13 products against 4. Coverage is not identical either: Invesco covers the US market, global equities, European equities, emerging markets, fixed income where Global X does not.
Are there structural differences beyond fees?+
Yes. Global X's products in this catalog are 100% accumulating and 100% physically replicated, domiciled in Ireland. Invesco's are 85% accumulating and 85% 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.
