At the beginning of each quarter, we rank each style from best to worst with our Style Ratings Report. These rankings are forward looking and are indicative of how each style should perform going forward.

We also highlight the top ETFs and mutual funds, along with the worst ones to avoid. This analysis is available to our Platinum and higher members. This information allows you to make better decisions when allocating your portfolio by identifying which funds to avoid and which funds to buy. More reliable & proprietary fundamental data, proven in The Journal of Financial Economics, drives our research. Our Robo-Analyst technology[1] empowers our unique ETF and mutual fund rating methodology, which leverages our rigorous analysis of each fund’s holdings.[2]

Some of the best funds include ADRE, VECRX, QDF, and RSEIX. Some of the worst include ENTR, INVNX, MFMS, and NWHDX.
