Medalist ETFs

These exchange-traded funds have what it takes to win in the long run.

The Analyst Rating for funds (including our Medalist ratings) reflects a Morningstar analyst's qualitative evaluation of a fund's prospects.
  

  • Keeping costs low is paramount for index funds. Our top-rated ETFs are among the lowest-cost active and index funds in their categories.
     
  • We also carefully analyze an ETF's underlying benchmark (the index it tracks) to understand how the portfolio is built and maintained.
      
  • We reserve our Morningstar Medalist ratings for those low-cost ETFs that we think will tightly track a sensibly constructed index. These attributes are likeliest to translate to better performance over the long run.

List Criteria

Criteria Description
Medalist ETFs (Gold, Silver, or Bronze) Morningstar gives an ETF a Gold, Silver, or Bronze rating (i.e., a Medalist rating) based on our analysts' conviction of how tightly it will track a sensibly constructed index over a long time frame and, due to experienced management, strong stewardship, and reasonable fees, outperform its peer group.
