The Ultimate ETF Comparison Tool: Analyze Fees, Performance & HoldingsChoosing the right ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) can be difficult with thousands of options available. The TipRanks ETF Comparison Tool allows you to evaluate funds side-by-side to find the best fit for your portfolio. Whether you are deciding between S&P 500 giants like VOO vs. SPY or hunting for high-yield income funds like SCHD vs. JEPI, our tool breaks down the critical data points that matter most.5 Key Metrics to Look for When Comparing ETFs

Expense Ratio (Fees): This is the cost to own the fund. Over 10-20 years, a difference of just 0.10% can cost you thousands of dollars in lost returns. Use our tool to find the lowest-cost option (e.g., comparing QQQ vs. QQQM).

Dividend Yield & History: For income investors, yield is king. Compare the 'Trailing 12-Month Yield' and check the payout frequency (monthly vs. quarterly).

TipRanks ETF Smart Score: Unlike other tools that only look backwards, TipRanks analyzes the Analyst Ratings of the underlying stocks inside the ETF. A Smart Score of 8, 9, or 10 indicates the ETF’s holdings have a strong probability of outperforming the market.

AUM (Assets Under Management): Higher AUM generally means better liquidity and tighter spreads, which is crucial for active traders.

Holdings Overlap: Are you buying the same stocks twice? Use our analysis to see if two ETFs hold the same top companies (like Microsoft, Nvidia, or Apple) to avoid over-concentration risk.

How to Use the TipRanks ETF Analyzer

Step 1: Enter the ticker symbols (e.g., VTI, IVV, ARKK) in the search bar above.

Step 2: Select 'Add to Compare' to build your custom view (compare up to 10 funds at once).

Step 3: Toggle between the 'Dividends' tab to check payment history and the 'Technical Analysis' tab to see momentum indicators like RSI and Moving Averages.

Step 4: Check the 'Analyst Consensus' column. This proprietary metric aggregates the buy/sell ratings of the individual stocks held within the ETF, giving you a unique 'Wall Street' view of the fund's potential.
