The Best Multi-factor ETFs

The table below compares the performance and other essential indicators like dividend yield and expense ratio of 13 Multi-factor ETFs.

Multi-factor ETFs are exchange-traded funds that incorporate multiple investment factors or strategies to construct portfolios. These factors, which are quantitative characteristics of stocks, can include value, growth, momentum, quality, low volatility, and size, among others. Multi-factor ETFs employ a systematic, rules-based approach to select and weigh their holdings. By balancing exposure to different factors, these ETFs seek to benefit from the unique strengths of each factor and reduce the impact of any single factor's underperformance.
