Key differences at a glance
Neither IYLD nor SYI 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.
IYLD has the lower management fee - the one objective "cheaper" axis.
SYI is the larger fund. Larger is not inherently better, but greater scale can support tighter spreads and lower closure risk.
IYLD spreads exposure across more holdings (IYLD 169, SYI 57); the other is more concentrated. Neither is inherently better - it depends on whether you want breadth or a focused tilt.
IYLD distributes approximately 4.77% and SYI approximately 4.8% - a similar level. A higher distribution 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; sector and geography figures for some funds are category-inferred estimates, clearly labelled on each fund's page.
Yield figures are estimates based on recent distributions and may vary. Past distributions are not a reliable indicator of future distributions.

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.
