How to use the ETF screener#

  1. Start with a screen or your own filters. Pick a fund type, a category such as S&P 500 or Gold, an issuer, a fee limit or how many years of prices a fund must have. You can also search by ticker, name or index.
  2. Sort by what matters to you. Press a column name, such as 10 yr or Worst drop. Press it again to flip the order.
  3. Tick up to four funds and press Compare. You see them side by side, with the lowest fee and the best recent returns marked, and a link to each fund’s alternatives.
  4. Test them together. Backtest the funds as an equal mix and get a result page with a link to share, no account needed. The backtest a portfolio tool lets you set your own split, and the builder adds rules.
  5. Keep your screen. The page address holds your filters, so you can bookmark it or share it. Download the results as a CSV file for a spreadsheet.

Ready-made screens#

  • S&P 500 funds: Funds built on the S&P 500 or a part of it, such as its growth or dividend stocks, cheapest first.
  • US bond funds: Treasury and other US bond funds, cheapest first.
  • Stocks outside the US: Funds that own companies in other rich countries, cheapest first.
  • Best 10 years: Funds with at least 10 years of prices, by their return per year over the last 10 years.
  • Smallest drops: Funds with at least 10 years of prices, by the smallest fall from a high.
  • Dividend funds: Funds built to pay dividends, from high payers to companies that raise them every year, cheapest first.
  • Gold funds: Funds that hold gold bullion, cheapest first.
  • Used in strategies: Funds the classic strategies hold, by how many of them hold each one.

What the numbers show today#

  • The lowest yearly fee is 0.02%, charged by SPYM.
  • Leaving out leveraged funds, the best return per year over the last 10 years came from SMH, at 33.2%.
  • Among stock funds with at least 10 years of prices, QYLD had the smallest worst drop, −24.8% from a high.
  • The deepest worst drop belongs to GSG, which fell 89.6% from a high.
  • 67 of the 162 funds are held by at least one classic strategy. SPY is held by the most, 47 of them.

These figures run to the close of October 16, 2026. They change after every US market close.

The cheapest fund of each type#

Fees come straight off your return every year, so two funds that hold the same things can end up far apart. This table shows the lowest fee in each group.

Read what an expense ratio is to see how a small fee adds up over the years.

What each column means#

  • Fee is the expense ratio: what the fund charges each year, as a percent of what you hold. A 0.10% fee costs about $10 a year on $10,000. More on fees.
  • 1 yr is the return over the last 12 months, with dividends reinvested.
  • 3 yr, 5 yr and 10 yr are returns per year over those periods, also called CAGR. A per-year figure lets you compare periods of different lengths. Try the CAGR calculator.
  • Since start is the return per year since the fund’s prices begin, with that year shown below it.
  • Worst drop is the biggest fall from a high to a low, also called the maximum drawdown. It shows how much pain holding the fund took. More on drawdowns.
  • Volatility is how much the fund’s price swings in a year. Higher means a bumpier ride. The Sharpe ratio weighs return against it.
  • Strategies counts the classic strategies that hold the fund. Each fund page lists them.

Where the data comes from#

Each fund’s fee, start date, index and number of holdings come from the issuer’s own fund page or its SEC filing. Every fund page shows the day we checked them and links to the source.

Returns, worst drops and volatility come from daily closing prices adjusted for splits, with dividends reinvested. They do not include taxes or trading costs. Read our methodology and how backtests work for the details.

Why the screener lists 162 funds#

Big screeners list thousands of funds. This one is smaller on purpose. We add a fund only after we check its facts on the issuer’s own page, and we keep its full price history so every figure can be traced. It covers every fund the classic strategies hold, plus the most popular index funds of each type.

The list grows over time. If a fund you want is missing, you can still test it by ticker in the builder.

From a screen to a strategy#

A screen tells you what a fund did. A strategy decides when to hold it. Many classic strategies, such as dual momentum, move between a few of these funds by simple rules.

Compare two funds in full on the ETF comparisons pages, find alternatives that hold much the same as a fund you own, test a mix with backtest a portfolio, then try it with pretend money in paper trading. When you are ready, a strategy can run automatically in your own Alpaca account.

Common questions#

What is an ETF screener?#

An ETF screener is a tool that sorts and filters exchange-traded funds by facts such as fees, fund type and past returns. It helps you narrow a long list down to a few funds worth a closer look.

Is this ETF screener free?#

Yes. You can use the screener and compare funds without an account. Backtesting the funds you pick as a mix is free too, and you get a link to share the result.

How often is the data updated?#

Prices update after each US market close. Fees and fund facts come from each issuer, and each fund page shows the day we checked them.

How do I compare two ETFs?#

Tick two to four funds in the screener and press Compare. Popular pairs, such as VOO vs VTI, also have a full page in ETF comparisons.

Why are 3, 5 and 10 year returns shown per year?#

A return per year, also called CAGR, lets you compare periods of different lengths fairly. A fund that doubled in 10 years returned about 7.2% a year.

Does a high past return mean a fund will do well?#

No. Past returns do not tell you what happens next. A fund that led for ten years can lag for the next ten. Look at what it holds, what it costs and its worst drop too.
