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.

Liquid ETFs have tighter bid-ask spreads, meaning you pay less in hidden trading costs. High liquidity also means you can buy or sell large positions without significantly moving the price.
Our liquidity factor combines Assets Under Management (AUM) with average daily trading volume. Larger, more actively traded ETFs score higher on liquidity.
Not necessarily. While high liquidity reduces trading costs, the best ETF for you depends on your investment goals. A less liquid but lower-cost or better-performing fund may be superior for long-term investors.
