3. Your investment style matters
Investment Style Box: This feature categorizes equity and fixed income ETFs into nine types using a 3x3 grid format.
For equity ETFs, the styles are combined based on market capitalization and investment style, providing a clear visual representation of investment characteristics.
For example, if you are a more aggressive investor or looking to allocate small- or mid-cap stocks in your portfolio, you might consider exploring '"Medium Growth" or "Small Growth" ETFs to find ones that meet your needs. Conversely, if you prefer more stable returns and have a lower risk tolerance, you might look at "Large Value" ETFs or high-credit fixed income ETFs.
The chart that showcases price trends helps you quickly identify which type of ETF is performing best in the market environment of the day.
