Best ETFs are the top performing ETFs across the years. These ETFs have produced consistent profits for their investors.

Identifying the best ETFsis important before investing the money. Different companies, on a regular period, update their list of the best ETFs based on these parameters:

  • Asset value

  • Demand

  • Net Asset (Assets minus expenditures)

  • Growth rate

 

A List of Best ETFs 
 

Different parameters, as mentioned above, are used to evaluate the performance of the ETFs. Demand and growth rates are a result of strong asset and net asset values. Thus, we have listed the best ETFs on the same basis. The listed ETFs have performed well over the years and have remained in the top ten best ETFs lists over the years.

Best ETFs by Asset Value
 

Asset value is the total value of an asset without any deductions. These ETFs have shown a growth of their asset value over the years:

  • Barclays Global Investors

  • State Street Global Advisor

  • Vanguard

  • PowerShares

  • World Gold Trust

  • BONY/Merrill Lynch

  • Rydex

  • ProShares

  • Wisdom Tree

  • Db Commodity Services

 

Best ETFs by Net Asset

 

Net asset value is the value of an entity less the value of its liability. The following ETFs have shown a good track-record of being the best ETFs over the years on the basis of their asset value:

  • SPDR Index 500 (SPY)

  • iShares MSCI-EAFE (EFA)

  • iShares MSCI-Emerging Mkts (EEM)

  • iShares S&P 500 (IVV)

  • PowerShares QQQ (QQQQ)

  • SPDR Equity Gold (GLD)

  • iShares Russell 1000 Gr (IWF)

  • iShares Russell 2000 (IWM)

  • Vanguard MSCI Total Market (VTI)

  • iShares Lehman 1-3 Yr Treas   (SHY)

Lists based on the asset value and the net asset value of the ETFs is more dependable. This is because such lists clearly indicate an increase in the revenue and profits generated by the companies. The best ETFs lists that are based on growth rate could mislead as the growth may be temporary or fraudulently cultivated.
