Frequently asked questions
How is this ranking built?+
A single, explicit, objective criterion: the approximate historical annualized return of the index each fund tracks, sorted from highest to lowest in the USA category. No sponsored placements, no editorial picks.
Is the cheapest / highest-return fund always the best choice?+
Not necessarily — and be careful here: a high historical return usually reflects a riskier, more concentrated index (tech, a single country), and past performance is no guarantee of future results. Check the risk indicator before deciding.
How many funds are in this USA ranking?+
17 — every fund and ETF in the USA category in our catalog whose data we're confident is accurate and current. Quality over an arbitrary count.
