ETF list: what each fund holds, costs and did

An ETF (exchange-traded fund) is a basket of investments you can buy in one trade, like a single stock. This list covers 162 ETFs, including every fund Tactfolio’s classic strategies hold. Each page shows what the fund holds, its yearly fee, its returns by year and its worst drop.

Written by the Tactfolio research team. Fund facts come from each issuer and carry the date we checked them. Prices update after each US market close.

Key points

  • Fees, start dates and indexes come from each fund issuer, with the date we checked.
  • Returns and drops use daily prices with dividends reinvested.
  • Every page lists the Tactfolio strategies that hold the fund.
  • Popular pairs, such as VOO vs VTI, are compared side by side in ETF comparisons.
  • Funds that can stand in for each other are listed in ETF alternatives.
  • To filter and sort every fund by fee, return or worst drop, use the ETF screener.

Common questions#

What is an ETF?#

An ETF, or exchange-traded fund, is a fund that trades on a stock exchange like a single stock. One share gives you a small piece of everything the fund holds, such as 500 companies or a pile of government bonds.

What is an expense ratio?#

An expense ratio is the yearly fee a fund charges, shown as a percent of what you hold. A 0.10% fee costs about $10 a year on $10,000. The fund takes it out of its own value, so you never get a bill.

Where do these numbers come from?#

Fees, start dates and indexes come from each fund issuer, and each page shows the date we checked them. Returns and drops come from daily prices adjusted for splits, with dividends reinvested, updated after each US market close.

Does Tactfolio sell these ETFs?#

No. Tactfolio is not a broker. You can test rules that hold these funds, and run a strategy in your own Alpaca account if you choose.
