Hello all,

I have a question, with Google I can not find a satisfactory answer, maybe you can help me.

They track the same index but have very different dividend payouts, but the chart itself is the same for both 1:1.

What is the reason for this? The only explanation I have is that one replicates physically and the other synthetically. If this is the case, why is it so?

which etf makes more sense and why?

Thanks in advance

Replication methods and fees matter, and with different strategies on distribution and reinvestment, there are also differences.

I've wondered the same thing and tried to research it. It could have something to do with the fact that gains from swap ETFs are tax-free in the USA. The index also has about 19% US exposure. The swap transactions also mean that not all positions have to be bought physically, which probably saves additional transaction costs for the ETF investor.
I would be happy to be enlightened by someone who knows exactly.
