🏆 Today's Top-Rated ETFs
All ETF Rankings
| Our composite rating (0–100). Blends returns (25%), Sharpe ratio (20%), expense ratio (20%), max drawdown (15%), fund size (15%), and volatility (5%). | How much the ETF price changed yesterday. Useful for spotting short-term moves, but not important for long-term investors. | Price change over the past month. Gives a feel for recent momentum. | Return since January 1st of this year. | Total return over the past 12 months — one of the most useful single numbers for comparing ETFs. | Return over 3 years, showing performance across a full market cycle including ups and downs. | Annual management fee, deducted automatically. Lower is always better. 0.03%–0.20% is excellent; above 0.75% is expensive. | Assets Under Management — the total money invested. Larger funds ($1B+) are more liquid, easier to trade, and less likely to close. | How much the price moves day-to-day, annualised. Very Low <8%, Low 8–15%, Moderate 15–22%, High 22–30%, Very High >30%. Note: this is independent of the grade. | Risk-adjusted return. Higher is better. Above 1.0 is good; above 2.0 is excellent. Negative means the return didn't cover the risk taken. | The largest peak-to-trough drop in the past 2 years. Shows worst-case loss if you bought at the peak — useful for understanding downside risk. | Annual dividend paid out as a percentage of price. Sort this column descending to find the highest-income ETFs. Funds paying 2%+ are tagged Income in the table. | |||||

📖 What do these metrics mean? (Beginner's guide)
Overall Score
A 0–100 composite rating combining returns (25%), Sharpe ratio (20%), cost (20%), max drawdown (15%), fund size (15%), and volatility (5%). A+ means excellent across all six dimensions.
Higher = better
Expense Ratio
The annual fee the fund charges, automatically deducted from your returns. A fund with 0.03% costs you just $3 per year on a $10,000 investment.
Lower = cheaper
AUM
Assets Under Management. Larger funds are more stable, trade more easily, and are less likely to be closed by the provider.
Higher = more stable
1-Year Return
Total price appreciation (or loss) over the past 12 months. A simple, widely-used performance measure.
Higher = better recent performance
Volatility
How much the price swings day-to-day. Low volatility means a smoother ride; high volatility means bigger swings in both directions. This is independent of the grade — a low-volatility ETF can still have a low grade if its returns are poor.
Lower = smoother ride
Sharpe Ratio
Return earned for each unit of risk taken. Calculated as (annual return – risk-free rate) ÷ volatility. Anything above 1.0 is considered good.
Higher = better risk-adjusted return
Max Drawdown
The worst peak-to-trough loss over the past 2 years. If you had invested at the worst possible moment, this is how much you would have lost before recovery.
Smaller (less negative) = more resilient
Dividend Yield
Annual dividends paid out, expressed as a percentage of the share price. ETFs paying 2%+ are tagged Income in the table. Sort the Div. Yield column descending to surface the best income options.
Higher = more income
Beta
Measures sensitivity to the overall market. Beta of 1.0 moves with the market; 1.5 moves 50% more; 0.5 moves half as much.
Closer to 1 = tracks market; lower = more defensive
