What the fee difference costs you

Growth projections use a user-adjustable expected return, defaulting to 7%, and are applied net of each fund's MER so the fee drag is visible. They are not forecasts and deliberately do not extrapolate the trailing return: the trailing year shown below was an unusually strong one for global equities and projecting it forward would be misleading.

Data as of XEQT 2026-11-11 (source) , VEQT 2026-09-30 (source) . MER and fee figures change; the fund's own factsheet is always the authority.

Every comparison, written up

Each pair below has its own page: the same table, plus the part a table cannot cover -- withholding tax, currency conversion, which account it belongs in, and whether the cheaper fund is actually the better one for you.

Every figure on these pages comes from src/_data/etfs.yml, which records an as-of date and a source for each fund so the same number cannot drift between pages.
