Comparison scores reflect how each ETF compares to the other on these specific dimensions only. They are not absolute ratings or recommendations.
Key differences at a glance
E200 and VETH suit different goals rather than one being "better" than the other. The clearest differences:
Green highlights the leading comparison score, the factually lower fee, or the higher scale or income figure. Performance is never highlighted. Data from issuer disclosures, reviewed quarterly.
Category scores compare these two ETFs only and are not absolute ratings.
Cost (management fee): E200 has the lower management fee - the one objective "cheaper" axis.
Fund size (assets): VETH is the larger fund. Larger is not inherently better, but greater scale can support tighter spreads and lower closure risk.
Holdings breadth: VETH spreads exposure across more holdings (E200 103, VETH 229); the other is more concentrated. Neither is inherently better - it depends on whether you want breadth or a focused tilt.
Income (distribution yield): E200 distributes approximately 5.75% and VETH approximately 2%; E200 carries the higher estimated distribution yield. A higher yield may suit an income focus; a lower one may suit a growth or tax-efficiency focus. Yields are estimates and are not guaranteed; past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns.

E200 and VETH can each make sense depending on your objectives, horizon and existing portfolio. The key differences are near the top of this page, and the full side-by-side data is below.
E200 and VETH have approximately 70% holdings overlap, based on each fund's full published holdings list. This is considered high overlap.
E200 has the lower management fee. E200 charges 0.05% per year ($5 per year on a $10,000 investment) and VETH charges 0.16% per year ($16 per year on a $10,000 investment). The difference is $11 per year per $10,000 invested.
E200 (SPDR S&P/ASX 200 ESG ETF) manages approximately $404.59M and VETH (Vanguard Ethically Conscious Australian Shares ETF) manages approximately $637.11M. Fund size can affect liquidity and bid-ask spreads but does not by itself change the management fee.
You can hold both, but with approximately 70% estimated holdings overlap the two funds hold a high proportion of the same companies, so holding both means paying two sets of management fees on largely the same exposure. Whether that suits you depends on your own objectives.
There is no universally right choice. It depends on your goals, time horizon and existing holdings. E200 charges 0.05% and VETH charges 0.16%, so E200 has the lower management fee, and they have approximately 70% estimated holdings overlap. Compare their fees, holdings and sectors above and consider each fund's Product Disclosure Statement and Target Market Determination.
General information only. This comparison and the ETFLens tools on this page provide general information about two exchange-traded funds and do not take into account your personal objectives, financial situation or needs. It is not personal financial product or investment advice. ETFLens does not hold an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL). Holdings overlap is calculated from each fund's published holdings (full lists where the issuer publishes one, listed top holdings otherwise), and fee data is sourced from fund manager PDS documents and updated quarterly. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns. Consider each fund's Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) and Target Market Determination (TMD), and seek advice from a registered tax agent or licensed financial adviser, before making investment decisions.
