The ISIN of iShares MDAX UCITS ETF (DE) EUR (Acc) is DE0005933923. It trades in EUR. The ISIN identifies the fund itself, so every exchange listing of this share class shares it.
iShares MDAX UCITS ETF (DE) EUR (Acc) (EXS3) 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), EXS3 lagged by 12.81% 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.
