Methodology Notes

Holdings-derived vs. ETF-level data

Holdings-derived metrics are calculated from the ETF’s current underlying holdings, while ETF-level metrics use data that applies directly to the fund.

Sector-adjusted comparisons

Some metrics are sector adjusted so funds are evaluated in better context rather than only on absolute values.
