Industry Power Rankings New
Industry power rankings are rankings between U.S.-listed industry 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 industry. If an ETF changes its industry classification, it will also be reflected in the investment metric calculations. The calculations exclude inverse ETFs.
AUM Leaderboard
U.S.-listed industry ETFs are ranked based on their aggregate assets under management (AUM). All values are in U.S. dollars.
Return Leaderboard
U.S.-listed industry 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.
Fund Flow Leaderboard
U.S.-listed industry 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 industries. All values are in U.S. dollars.
Expense Leaderboard
U.S.-listed industry 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 industry, the higher the rank.
Dividend Leaderboard
U.S.-listed industry ETFs are ranked based on their AUM-weighted average dividend yield.
