Key differences at a glance

Category scores compare these two ETFs only and are not absolute ratings.
QSML has the lower management fee - the one objective "cheaper" axis.
QSML is the larger fund. Larger is not inherently better, but greater scale can support tighter spreads and lower closure risk.
QSML spreads exposure across more holdings (MICH 0, QSML 150); the other is more concentrated. Neither is inherently better - it depends on whether you want breadth or a focused tilt.
MICH distributes approximately 3.37% and QSML approximately 0.29%; MICH carries the higher estimated distribution yield.

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.
