EQIN questions answered
Written from the latest data on this page. General information only, not financial advice.
How diversified is Investors Mutual Equity Income Fund - Complex ETF?
The issuer of Investors Mutual Equity Income Fund - Complex ETF doesn't publish its holdings in a form we can read, so we can't measure how diversified it is. It is classed as equity with a Australia focus; the product disclosure statement (PDS) and the issuer's fact sheet list what it owns.
Which ETFs does EQIN double up with most?
We can't compare holdings for EQIN, as the issuer doesn't publish them in a form we can read, and no fund's returns track it closely, so it offers a fairly distinct exposure.
How is Investors Mutual Equity Income Fund - Complex ETF managed – active or passive?
Investors Mutual Equity Income Fund - Complex ETF is passively managed: it follows an index and holds what that index holds, rather than relying on a manager's stock picks. Its index uses a dividend approach, so it is sometimes called "smart beta".
Among Australian equity funds, active funds charge a median 0.85% a year and index funds 0.34%.
What will I pay in fees for EQIN?
EQIN charges a management fee of 0.90% a year, about $90 for every $10,000 invested. Only 15% of the 471 ASX ETFs we track charge more, and the median fee is 0.44%. Among Australian equity funds, the median is 0.35%.
Lower-cost funds with a similar focus include Vanguard Australian Shares High Yield ETF (VHY) at 0.25%, SPDR MSCI Australia Select High Dividend Yield ETF (SYI) at 0.20% and Ausbil Active Dividend Income Fund - Active ETF (DIVI) at 0.85%.
If you would rather have a manager choose the investments, active options such as Intelligent Investor Australian Equity Income Fund - Active ETF (IIGF) at 0.97% cost more.
The fee is taken from the fund's assets and is already reflected in its returns. You'll also pay brokerage when you buy or sell, and the bid-ask spread, which has averaged 0.51% for EQIN.
Does Investors Mutual Equity Income Fund - Complex ETF follow a theme?
Its focus is income. It favours investments that pay higher, regular distributions. Over the past year it paid out 6.0% of its price, across 4 payments.
What is under the hood of EQIN?

Rather than simply weighting companies by market size, its index favours companies that pay higher dividends.
How well has Investors Mutual Equity Income Fund - Complex ETF performed?
Based on its category, Investors Mutual Equity Income Fund - Complex ETF aims mainly to pay a regular income, with capital growth secondary.
To 23 Oct 2026, with distributions reinvested, it returned 5.3% over 1 year (median 0.6%; ranked 14 of 65). The medians and rankings compare it with Australian equity funds. Since listing in 2025 it has returned 5.1% a year.
Tracking difference is the gap between a fund's return and its index's return. We don't hold index returns, so we can't measure it for EQIN; the issuer reports it in the monthly fact sheet. As a guide, a well-run index fund trails its index by about its fee, here 0.90% a year, and a much bigger gap is a warning sign.
