Note: this table spans multiple asset classes, so the score column compares funds doing different jobs. Compare within a category before comparing across the table. Max DD is the deepest peak-to-trough fall over the measurement window. Sharpe ratio measures return per unit of volatility — higher is better. Every figure is recalculated daily.
What Makes a Good Fund Here
Schwab's ETF lineup is deliberately small and priced aggressively — it concentrates on core building blocks rather than niche strategies, and several of its funds are among the cheapest available in their category.
The ETFValuer score blends trailing return, risk-adjusted return, expense ratio, maximum drawdown, fund size and volatility, each percentile-ranked against the full tracked universe, into a single 0-100 figure graded A+ to F. It is a systematic summary of past data, not a forecast — read it alongside the individual columns rather than instead of them.
