Natural resources power rankings are rankings between U.S.-listed natural resource ETFs on certain investment-related metrics, including 3-month fund flows, 3-month return, AUM, average ETF expenses and average dividend yields. The metric calculations are based on U.S.-listed ETFs that are classified by ETF Database as being mostly exposed to a specific natural resource. If an ETF changes its natural resource classification, it will also be reflected in the investment metric calculations. The calculations exclude inverse ETFs.
U.S.-listed natural resource ETFs are ranked based on their aggregate assets under management (AUM). All values are in U.S. dollars.
U.S.-listed natural resource ETFs are ranked based on their AUM-weighted average 3-month return. In addition to price performance, the 3-month return assumes the reinvestment of all dividends during the last 3 months.
U.S.-listed natural resource ETFs are ranked based on their aggregate 3-month fund flows. 3-month fund flows is a metric that can be used to gauge the perceived popularity amongst investors of different kinds of natural resources. All values are in U.S. dollars.
U.S.-listed natural resource ETFs are ranked based on their AUM-weighted average expense ratios. The lower the average expense ratio for all U.S.-listed ETFs in a natural resource, the higher the rank.
U.S.-listed natural resource ETFs are ranked based on their AUM-weighted average dividend yield.
