How far the ETF was below its previous high at each point: the depth and length of the falls a holder would have lived through.
Compared with IWDA the exposure is the same; what changes is the issuer, the TER (0.12% against 0.20%) and the fund size, which is several times larger for IWDA. Over the long run what matters is the actual tracking difference, which may not match the TER gap exactly.
