Frequently Asked Questions

There’s no single answer -- it depends what you’re optimizing for. This page ranks funds four different ways (returns, cost, scale, consistency) precisely because "best" means different things to different investors. See the sections below for the current leaders in each.

Highest since-inception return is one input, not the whole picture -- especially for funds still under a year old, where a short track record can be noisy. Consider it alongside cost (TER), consistency across periods, and fund size before deciding.

A lower TER keeps more of your returns, but it isn’t automatically "better" on its own -- it’s one factor alongside strategy, manager track record, and actual returns after fees.
