Pairs that hold the same market. Fee = per $100 a year. Returns within 0.1 points are a tie; 5-year returns are per year.
Squares, left to right: fee · 1 year · 5 years, coloured by who won. Most gaps come from different index rules, not fees.
The past year. Win % counts funds, not dollars; money made is estimated from each fund’s assets and return. Categories with fewer than 3 funds on a side are flagged. Not advice.
