Does anyone know how to calculate whether the returns of VUSD is greater than that of SPY?

Hi! Does anyone know how to calculate whether the returns of VUSD is greater than that of SPY pls, while inclusive of the 15% vs 30% withholding taxes? As I see VUSD 5 year returns is only 8.5% vs 11% for SPY, also share price increase over time is much much lower = less cap gains over time if sold. So even if VUSD is lower cost, the benefits may not be as much. Thx a lot!

To do that you'll need a calculator that acknowledges also the distributed dividends that could also differ.

when not taking into account the dividend find here a chart with 3 graphs (SP500 index, SPY, VUSD) depiciting performance since inception of VUSD, actually not so much different (however when You buy VUSD, instead of 30% with the SPY You'll have only 15% of dividend taxes deducted, so for Singapore investors VUSD is the more prudent choice):
