Fund fact sheets usually headline returns in US dollars, which can look very different: in 2025 a world tracker rose about 23% in dollars but only about 9% in euros, because the euro gained roughly 13% against the dollar. Here's the full story, year by year.

SPYY vs AVWC in plain words

SPYY tracks the MSCI ACWI Index while AVWC follows the Avantis Global Equity strategy, so they own different slices of the market and their years can look very different. SPYY charges 0.12% a year in running costs and AVWC charges 0.22% — SPYY is the cheaper fund to hold.

Both are accumulating funds: dividends are reinvested inside the fund and show up as a higher share price, never as a payout. Across the 3 calendar years both funds were trading, SPYY finished the year ahead 2 times and AVWC 1 times. €10,000 invested at the start of 2025 was worth €10,946 in SPYY versus €10,908 in AVWC by the end of 2025, dividends reinvested.

Actively managed: it tilts a broad developed-market portfolio towards cheaper, more profitable and smaller companies rather than following an index, and measures itself against the MSCI World IMI.
