Key differences at a glance
There is no single "better" fund here - which suits you depends on your goals. The clearest differences between IOO and MOAT:
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 and the ASX Investment Products report. Fund size, yield, return and holdings figures each state the date they are as at.
Category scores compare these two ETFs only and are not absolute ratings.
Cost (management fee): IOO has the lower management fee - the one objective "cheaper" axis.
Fund size (assets): IOO is the larger fund. Larger is not inherently better, but greater scale can support tighter spreads and lower closure risk.
Holdings breadth: IOO spreads exposure across more holdings (IOO 117, MOAT 57); the other is more concentrated. Neither is inherently better - it depends on whether you want breadth or a focused tilt.
Income (distribution yield): IOO distributes approximately 1.08% and MOAT distributes approximately 1.4%; MOAT 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.

Fund sizes as at 30 Sep 2026 for both funds.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns or distributions. These figures may be out of date. Check the fund manager's website for current performance.

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. 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.
