Best free ETF research and screening
ETF.com has the most comprehensive free ETF database with detailed fund profiles, comparison tools, and flow data. The screener filters are extensive and the fund pages are informative.
Best for in-depth ETF analysis with professional ratings
Morningstar's ETF screener benefits from their decades of fund analysis expertise. The star ratings, analyst reports, and X-ray tool that shows true portfolio exposure are unmatched.
Best for finding thematic and sector-specific ETFs
VettaFi (formerly ETF Database) offers strong thematic and sector screening with a focus on helping you find ETFs that match specific investment themes or strategies.
Best built-in screener for Fidelity customers
Fidelity's built-in ETF screener is excellent and free for account holders. ESG scoring, tax efficiency metrics, and sector breakdowns are included without requiring a separate subscription.
Best for tracking ETF holdings after screening and purchasing
Clarity is not an ETF screener, but it tracks your ETF holdings across brokerages with performance analytics. Use it alongside a screener to track the ETFs you select.
Start with expense ratio (lower is almost always better for broad market funds), assets under management (larger funds have better liquidity), tracking error (how closely it follows its index), and tax efficiency. For thematic ETFs, also evaluate the methodology behind the holdings selection.
For most individual investors, yes. ETF.com and VettaFi provide comprehensive screening for free. Morningstar Premium adds analyst opinions and deeper analysis that is valuable for active fund selectors but unnecessary for passive index investors.
