Frequently asked questions
Is SPYW.DE accumulating or distributing?
SPDR S&P Euro Dividend Aristocrats UCITS ETF (SPYW.DE) is a distributing ETF, so it pays its dividends out to you as cash, usually a few times a year. If you would rather have dividends reinvested automatically, look for an accumulating share class of the same index.
What is the annual fee (TER) for SPYW.DE?
SPYW.DE has a total expense ratio (TER) of 0.30% per year. On a $10,000 holding that is roughly $30 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 SPYW.DE on Interactive Brokers?
Yes. SPYW.DE trades on Xetra, EUR and is available to investors worldwide through Interactive Brokers (IBKR). IBKR is the most popular way to buy UCITS ETFs because of its low FX conversion cost (around 0.03%) and low trading commissions.
