Canadian ETF Screener

An expense ratio is the fund's annual operating cost, shown as a percentage of your investment and deducted automatically from the fund's returns. It's charged every year you hold the fund, so a lower expense ratio keeps more of a fund's return in your pocket over time, especially for funds you plan to hold for years.

Open the Filters drawer and set a maximum for Expense Ratio, or use the Low Cost preset as a starting point, then sort the results by TER (ascending) to rank the cheapest funds first. Comparing expense ratios within the same fund type is more useful than comparing across very different categories, since costs vary a lot by strategy.

AUM (assets under management) is the total dollar value of everything the fund holds. Larger funds tend to have tighter bid-ask spreads and more consistent trading volume, which can matter if you trade in and out. Very small funds carry a higher chance of eventually being closed or merged by the issuer.

YTD (year-to-date) return is the fund's total price return from the start of the current calendar year through the latest available data point shown on this page. It reflects price movement only, not a projection or an annualized figure, and past performance doesn't indicate future results.

A leveraged ETF aims to deliver a multiple (commonly 2x or 3x) of its benchmark's daily return, while an inverse ETF aims to move opposite its benchmark. Both are built for short-term, actively-managed positions rather than long-term holding, since their returns compound daily and can diverge significantly from the benchmark over longer periods. Use the Leveraged and Inverse filters to isolate or exclude them.

Each fund shows an "As of" date reflecting the latest fundamentals available for that fund. Prices are not a live real-time feed. If you need the most current figure for a specific fund, check that fund's own listing or your broker before trading.

Open the Filters drawer and use the Issuer dropdown to select one or more fund families, such as Vanguard, iShares, or State Street. You can combine it with any other filter, for example issuer plus a maximum expense ratio, to compare a specific provider's cheapest offerings.

This screener is for comparing many funds at once across the same set of metrics. An individual ETF's own page goes deeper on that single fund, including its holdings, sector and country composition, dividend history, and fund flows. Use the screener to narrow down candidates, then open a fund's own page for the full picture.
