Data note 4

Based on the underlying index MSCI-WORLD's own correlations — we don't have individual price series for UCITS ETFs.

Cost example

Worked example with €10,000 and 5 % growth per year before costs, which is an assumption and not a forecast: after 20 years URTH at a 0.24 % TER would come to about €25,290, and SPPW at 0.12 % to about €25,900. The gap is €190 after 10 years and €620 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, and the 5 funds also differ in distribution policy and replication method.
