Frequently asked questions
Is EXIE.DE accumulating or distributing?
iShares STOXX Europe 600 UCITS ETF (DE) EUR (Acc) (EXIE.DE) is an accumulating ETF, so its dividends are reinvested automatically inside the fund instead of paid out as cash. The value compounds in the share price, which keeps things simple since the dividends are reinvested for you instead of arriving as cash you would otherwise have to reinvest yourself.
What is the annual fee (TER) for EXIE.DE?
EXIE.DE has a total expense ratio (TER) of 0.20% per year. On a $10,000 holding that is roughly $20 a year, charged inside the fund rather than billed to you separately. A lower fee leaves more of the return compounding for you over time.
Can I buy EXIE.DE on Interactive Brokers?
