Frequently asked questions
Is Invesco or Xtrackers cheaper?+
Invesco offers the cheapest fund in 5 of the 8 categories both cover, against 1 for Xtrackers. 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 Invesco and Xtrackers biggest?+
In a specific thematic sector: Invesco Solar Energy charges 0.69% against 0.25% for Xtrackers MSCI World Information Technology. On €10,000 invested that is a €44.00 difference every year, in favour of Xtrackers.
Which one has the wider range?+
Xtrackers, with 22 products against 13. Coverage is not identical either: Xtrackers covers sustainable (ESG) criteria, the Japanese market, listed real estate 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. Xtrackers's are 86% accumulating and 91% physical, domiciled in Ireland, Luxembourg, Germany, Jersey. 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.
