ETF Sector Comparison Tool — Instantly Compare Up To 10 ETFs
Quickly compare the sector allocations of up to ten ETFs side by side and see exactly where your portfolio is concentrated. The ETF Sector Comparison Tool on ETF-Rankings.com makes it easy to visualize how different ETFs allocate capital across the economy — no spreadsheets, no guesswork.
Sector exposure is one of the most important — and most overlooked — drivers of ETF performance. Two ETFs with similar long-term returns can behave very differently depending on how much they allocate to Technology, Financials, Energy, Health Care, or other sectors. This tool allows investors to instantly see those differences by entering one or more ETF tickers and comparing their sector weights in a clean, easy-to-read table.
Why Sector Allocation Matters
Understanding sector exposure helps investors identify whether an ETF is tilted toward cyclical sectors such as Technology, Industrials, and Financials, or more defensive areas like Consumer Staples, Utilities, and Health Care. These differences can have a meaningful impact on performance during economic expansions, slowdowns, and periods of market stress. For example, comparing an ETF you hold against a broad-market benchmark like SPY can quickly reveal whether you are overweight growth-sensitive sectors or underweight defensives. Many investors are surprised to learn how concentrated their ETFs really are once they see the sector breakdown side by side.
