How it works
For every ETF we look through to the companies it holds and measure how much of that is shared with every other ETF in the same asset class. If another ETF holds at least 80% of the same companies and charges a lower fee, we call it a cheaper twin. The saving shown is the difference in management fees on $100,000 invested.
"Same holdings" is the overlap between the two funds: the sum of the smaller weight of every company both hold. Above 80% the two ETFs are largely the same portfolio. Fees are management fees (MER) from the TMX Australia funds report. A lower fee isn't everything: check the index, size, liquidity (bid/ask spread), currency hedging and tracking before switching, and remember selling may trigger capital gains tax and brokerage.

Best-endeavours estimate. Built from each issuer's published holdings, which may be weeks or months old, may cover only part of a fund (some publish only their top 10) and are matched by company name. Figures may be incomplete or inaccurate. Check the issuer's website and PDS before relying on them. General information only.
