IUSQ (ISAC) 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.

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, IUSQ finished the year ahead 2 times and DEGC 0 times.

ISAC is the London (USD) listing and SSAC the London (GBP) line of the same fund, ISIN IE00B6R52259 — IUSQ 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.
