Morningstar rated ETFs reflect a qualitative evaluation of a fund’s prospects.

  1. Keeping costs low is paramount for index funds. Morningstar top-rated ETFs are among the lowest-cost active and index funds in their categories.
  2. Morningstar Analysts carefully analyze an ETF’s underlying benchmark (the index it tracks) to understand how the portfolio is built and maintained.
  3. Morningstar Medalist ratings are for 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

Morningstar gives an ETF a Gold, Silver, or Bronze 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.
