\n

With an ever-growing list of similar-sounding ETFs to choose from, finding the best is an increasingly difficult task. How can investors change the game to shift the odds in their favor?<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Trust ETF Labels<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There are at least 90 different Technology ETFs and at least 304 ETFs across eleven sectors. Do investors need 27+ choices on average per sector? How different can the ETFs be?<\/p>\n

Those 90 Technology ETFs are very different from each other. With anywhere from 22 to 546 holdings, many of these Technology ETFs have drastically different portfolios with differing risk profiles and performance outlooks.<\/p>\n

The same is true for the ETFs in any other sector, as each offers a very different mix of good and bad stocks. Energy ranks first for stock selection. Real Estate ranks last.<\/p>\n

Avoiding Analysis Paralysis<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I think the large number of sector ETFs hurts investors more than it helps. Manually conducting a deep analysis for every ETF is simply not a realistic option, exposing investors to insufficient analysis and missing profitable opportunities. Analyzing ETFs, with the proper diligence, is far more difficult than analyzing stocks because it means analyzing all the stocks within each ETF. As stated above, there can be as many as 546 stocks or more for one ETF.<\/p>\n

Figure 1 shows the top-rated ETF for each sector.<\/p>\n

Figure 1: The Best ETF in Each Sector<\/strong><\/p>\n

* Best ETFs exclude ETFs with TNAs less than $100 million for inadequate liquidity<\/p>\n

Amongst the ETFs in Figure 1, VanEck Steel ETF (SLX) ranks first overall, iShares US Home Construction ETF
\n ITB
\n <\/fbs-ticker> ranks second, and Invesco Dynamic Building & Construction ETF
\n PKB
\n <\/fbs-ticker> ranks third. Fidelity MSCI Utilities Index ETF
\n FUTY
\n <\/fbs-ticker> ranks last.<\/p>\n

How to Avoid \u201cThe Danger Within\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Why do you need to know the holdings of ETFs before you buy?<\/p>\n

You need to be sure you do not buy an ETF that might blow up. Buying an ETF without analyzing its holdings is like buying a stock without analyzing its business and finances. No matter how cheap, if it holds bad stocks, the ETF\u2019s performance will be bad. Don\u2019t just take my word for it, see what Barron\u2019s says on this matter.<\/p>\n

PERFORMANCE OF FUND\u2019S HOLDINGS \u2013 FEES = PERFORMANCE OF FUND<\/p>\n

If Only Investors Could Find Funds Rated by Their Holdings<\/strong><\/h3>\n

VanEck Steel ETF (SLX) is not only the top-rated Basic Materials ETF but is also the overall top-rated sector ETF out of the 304 sector ETFs that my firm covers.<\/p>\n

The worst ETF in Figure 1 is Fidelity MSCI Utilities Index ETF (FUTY), which gets a very unattractive rating. One would think ETF providers could do better for this sector.<\/p>\n
