Frequently asked questions
Is Invesco or SPDR cheaper?+
It depends on the category — they tie overall, each offering the cheapest fund in 3 of the 6 categories both cover. Compare the specific category you want rather than the provider as a whole.
Where is the difference between Invesco and SPDR biggest?+
In a specific thematic sector: Invesco Solar Energy charges 0.69% against 0.30% for SPDR MSCI World Technology. On €10,000 invested that is a €39.00 difference every year, in favour of SPDR.
Which one has the wider range?+
SPDR, with 19 products against 13. Coverage is not identical either: Invesco covers the technology sector, gold where SPDR does not; SPDR covers high-dividend companies, small-cap companies where Invesco does not.
Are there structural differences beyond fees?+
Yes. Invesco's products in this catalog are 85% accumulating and 85% physically replicated, domiciled in Ireland. SPDR's are 74% 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.
