Methodology
Each ETF is scored on five factors weighted to emphasize what matters most: cost efficiency (25%), performance (25%), momentum (20%), liquidity (15%), and tracking quality (15%).
For dividend ETFs specifically, our performance factor captures total return including reinvested dividends, so funds with strong yields and consistent payouts tend to score well.
