What is the difference between VAS and A200?
VAS and A200 both provide broad exposure to large Australian companies, but they track different indexes and can differ in the number of holdings, management fee, portfolio weights, distributions and fund structure.
Key points
- VAS tracks a broader slice of the Australian share market than an ASX 200 fund.
- A200 focuses on 200 large Australian companies.
- Small fee and index differences can matter over long periods, but both remain concentrated in Australia's largest sectors.
What to check next
Compare the latest fee, index, holdings, sector concentration, distributions and tracking history rather than choosing on one metric alone.
