SPYL — SPDR S&P 500 UCITS ETF (Acc)
SPDR S&P 500 UCITS ETF (Acc): what it is, what it costs, and what its EUR line on Xetra actually returned — dividends reinvested.
Every figure here is in euros — what you'd actually pocket buying on Xetra. 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.
SPYL in plain words
SPYL is the SPDR S&P 500 UCITS ETF (Acc) from State Street. It tracks the S&P 500 Index and costs 0.03% a year, quietly deducted from returns. No cash payouts — SPYL is an accumulating fund. Dividends are reinvested inside the fund and show up as a higher share price instead of landing in your account.
€10,000 invested at the start of 2023 was worth €14,996 by the end of 2025 — an average of 14.5% per year over 3 full years, dividends reinvested. Its best full year so far was 2024 (+32.33%), its worst 2025 (+4.71%) — the range you sign up for.
SPYL also trades in USD on the London Stock Exchange, where SPXL is its GBP line, ISIN IE000XZSV718 — this page follows its EUR line on Xetra.
