Hello,
I have a VT Etf, and it’s coted in Usd.
How I know the loss difference with chf?
I use ibkr
Is it wort to buy an Etf coted in chf instead?

You don’t need to do it.
You can choose to base all your reporting in ibkr to CHF so you will always see the value in chf.

You can simply use [SPYI performance](https://www.justetf.com/en/etf-profile.html?isin=IE00B3YLTY66) as proxy
Last 12 months -: 0.08%
2025 YTD -: (-)2.84%

And just in case you believe that the quoting currency has any impact on how much an ETF is worth, read this:
> [@The trading denomination is irrelevant for all assets (and hedging)](https://forum.mustachianpost.com/t/the-trading-denomination-is-irrelevant-for-all-assets-and-hedging/12162):
>
> tl;dr: There is no important relationship between an asset (e.g. gold) and its denomination (e.g. CHF). Listen to reason Reason 1: The asset you hold If you buy 1 kg of gold, you hold… 1 kg of gold. It logically has the same value regardless of what currency (CHF, EUR, USD, etc.) you bought it with. Reason 2: Arbitrage Let’s say you could get more value by buying or selling your gold in one currency than another. For example: Asset Denomination Price Gold CHF 10 Gold EUR 20 CHF EU…
It has no real world impact apart from adding additional steps to accounting.

You are missing his point. He wants to know the currency adjustet return. If VT gains 5% in time period x, your return in CHF might be different due to currency flactuation.
There might be an IBKR report for this, but I don‘t know.
I am using the following free 3rd party tool for this:

He also played with the idea of changing to an ETF with another denomination, so the regular @Helix reminder is justified.

Personally I use PortfolioPerformance (GoogleSheet, or any other tracker of course also works), to see all my assets in one place and in CHF.

Fair 😄
Buying it in CHF would make it though easier to show the your actual return.
