Key differences at a glance
Neither EX20 nor MVW is the "right" pick for everyone; it comes down to what you want from the holding. Where they differ most:
Category scores compare these two ETFs only and are not absolute ratings.
EX20 has the lower management fee - the one objective "cheaper" axis.
MVW is the larger fund. Larger is not inherently better, but greater scale can support tighter spreads and lower closure risk.
EX20 spreads exposure across more holdings (EX20 180, MVW 75); the other is more concentrated. Neither is inherently better - it depends on whether you want breadth or a focused tilt.
EX20 distributes approximately 2.9% and MVW approximately 3.2%; MVW 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.
Green highlights the factually lower fee or higher scale/income figure. Performance is never highlighted. Data from issuer disclosures, reviewed quarterly.
Yield figures are estimates based on recent distributions and may vary. Past distributions are not a reliable indicator of future distributions.

Whether EX20 or MVW fits comes down to your goals, time horizon and what you already hold. The clearest differences are summarised near the top of this page, with the full data below.
EX20 and MVW have approximately 51% holdings overlap, based on each fund's full published holdings list. This is considered moderate overlap.
EX20 has the lower management fee. EX20 charges 0.25% per year ($25 per year on a $10,000 investment) and MVW charges 0.35% per year ($35 per year on a $10,000 investment). The difference is $10 per year per $10,000 invested.
EX20 (Betashares Australian Ex-20 Portfolio Diversifier ETF) manages approximately $641.8M and MVW (VanEck Australian Equal Weight ETF) manages approximately $3.2B. 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 51% estimated holdings overlap the two funds share a moderate proportion of holdings, so there is some duplicated 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. EX20 charges 0.25% and MVW charges 0.35%, so EX20 has the lower management fee, and they have approximately 51% estimated holdings overlap. Compare their fees, holdings and sectors above and consider each fund's Product Disclosure Statement and Target Market Determination.

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.
