The same word, "Europe", means different things in different indexes. Check which countries are inside before you compare costs.
Education, not advice. Nothing here recommends buying or selling any fund. Past returns are not used to rank anything. Funds can lose value, and some products carry the credit risk of their issuer.
Examples chosen by size and common use, not a recommendation. The list is not complete and other funds on the same index exist. Annual cost is the figure each issuer publishes (ongoing charge or total expense ratio). Fund size depends on whether the issuer reports the whole fund or one share class; the basis is shown where stated. Past performance is not shown and not used.
Euro Stoxx 50 holds 50 large companies from eurozone countries only, so it has no UK or Swiss companies. MSCI Europe includes the UK and Switzerland. STOXX Europe 600 covers 600 companies across 17 European countries. A fund can be called European and still own very different things.
Stocks can fall sharply. A narrow index such as Euro Stoxx 50 depends on a few sectors and companies. European markets have their own country and sector weights, which can differ from what the name suggests.
How the tables are built. Every figure was read on 13 October 2026 from the issuer's own page or factsheet, and each fund links to its source. A figure we could not verify is shown as "not verified", never estimated.
