A good rate of return is the mark of a truly healthy ETF. This means the fund has extremely high and consistent rates of return.

Among this list of 10 ETFs, some specialize in doubling or tripling the daily investment results of whatever index they follow. The three-month returns of some funds are at times drastically different from its five-year returns. Take note of what to expect from short term investments compared to long term investments based on the fund’s past performances.

You may find that some funds have higher than 100% for their one-year return but less than 50% for their three-month return. This speaks to how well an ETF does over time and how well it is performing currently.

This list lays out all the information investors and advisors might need when researching high-return ETFs. The data shown comes from Bloomberg, ETF.com, and Yahoo Finance and was collected on January 2 to 10, 2020.
