HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS: The "timing scores" and "regime signals" displayed are based on quantitative models. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity.
RISK OF LOSS: Trading in financial markets involves a high degree of risk and may result in the loss of your entire investment. Data provided by third-party sources (Intrinio, Snowflake) is believed to be reliable but is not guaranteed for accuracy or completeness. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Our performance score evaluates an ETF's historical returns across multiple time periods (1Y, 3Y, 5Y) compared to category peers. Scores range from 0-100, with higher values indicating stronger relative performance.
Performance measures absolute historical returns across multiple time frames. Momentum captures the direction and strength of recent price trends (2-12 months). A fund can have strong long-term performance but weak recent momentum, or vice versa.
No. Past performance does not guarantee future results. However, consistently strong performance scores may indicate superior fund management or strategy implementation. Always consider multiple factors.
