    Insights
    • The net-return gap is 1.70 pts/yr - small annually, large after compounding over the horizon.
    • End wealth: AME 10.469.891 € vs bank 8.196.477 € - the fee drag is the single biggest controllable lever.
    What to watch
    • Bank fee components (AUM, trading, product, performance) are illustrative defaults - request your provider's actual all-in fee.
    • Gross return is an assumption, not a forecast - fees compound regardless of performance.
    Next steps
    • Request a full all-in fee breakdown from your current manager.
    • Re-run with your actual gross return and horizon.
    • Compare net-of-fee, not headline returns.
    Recommendation: Extra end wealth via lower fees

    Illustrative - depends on actual fees + return.
