QUAL is the larger fund. Larger is not inherently better, but greater scale can support tighter spreads and lower closure risk.
QUAL spreads exposure across more holdings (QUAL 295, VLUE 250); the other is more concentrated. Neither is inherently better - it depends on whether you want breadth or a focused tilt.

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.
