The ISIN of iShares TecDAX UCITS ETF (DE) EUR (Acc) is DE0005933972. It trades in EUR. The ISIN identifies the fund itself, so every exchange listing of this share class shares it.
iShares TecDAX UCITS ETF (DE) EUR (Acc) (EXS2) charges a total expense ratio of 0.51% a year, about $51 a year on a $10,000 holding. The TER is deducted continuously from fund assets rather than billed to you, so it shows up as a drag on returns and never as a separate charge.
Measured against Europe equity (proxy: VGK), EXS2 lagged by 9.96% a year — that is the cost you actually bore, versus a headline TER of 0.51%. It trailed by MORE than its stated fee, so trading costs, cash drag or withholding tax added to what the TER implies. This realised tracking difference is the honest number to compare funds on; the TER alone is not.
No — iShares TecDAX UCITS ETF (DE) EUR (Acc) (EXS2) is an accumulating share class, so dividends received from its holdings are reinvested inside the fund instead of being paid out. You realise that income as capital growth when you sell, which in many jurisdictions defers the tax event rather than triggering one each distribution.
iShares TecDAX UCITS ETF (DE) EUR (Acc) (EXS2) is domiciled in Germany (DE). Domicile decides the treaty rate applied to dividends the fund receives and whether the holding is exposed to US estate tax, so it affects your net return independently of the fund's fees.
