IS3S (IWVL) vs DEGC: which ETF won each year?

Yearly returns side by side, one winner per year — dividends included, priced as you'd actually buy them.

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.

IS3S vs DEGC in plain words

IS3S tracks the MSCI World Enhanced Value Index while DEGC follows the Dimensional Global Core Equity strategy, so they own different slices of the market and their years can look very different. IS3S charges 0.25% a year in running costs and DEGC charges 0.26% — IS3S 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 2 calendar years both funds were trading, IS3S finished the year ahead 2 times and DEGC 0 times.

IWVL is the London (USD) listing of the same fund, ISIN IE00BP3QZB59 — IS3S is its EUR line on Xetra.

Actively managed: it weights developed-market companies towards low valuations, high profitability and smaller size rather than following an index, and measures itself against the MSCI World.
