Fundamental Analysis: IMEA

Tax (Germany)

Equity ETF: 30% partial exemption (Teilfreistellung). Accumulating → Vorabpauschale advance tax applies. Details.

Cost Example

Worked example, not a forecast: €10,000 and an assumed 5% growth per year before costs. After 20 years, IMEA (TER 0.12%) would come to about €25,900 and SPYE (TER 0.08%) to about €26,110. The gap is €60 after 10 years and €210 after 20. The TER does not cover every cost of a fund. How far an ETF actually trails its index shows up in the tracking difference. The 2 funds also differ in distribution policy and replication method.
