Investing in Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) offers a diversified way to grow your wealth. But with so many ETFs available, how do you choose the right ones for your portfolio? Double's ETF Comparison Tool simplifies this process, providing in-depth insights to help you make informed decisions.

What are ETFs?

ETFs, or Exchange Traded Funds, are baskets of securities, like stocks or bonds, that trade on exchanges like individual stocks. They offer diversification by spreading your investment across multiple assets, potentially reducing risk.

Why Compare ETFs?

Not all ETFs are created equal. They can differ significantly in their holdings, performance, fees, and investment strategies. Comparing ETFs allows you to:

  • Understand their investment focus: See which sectors, industries, or asset classes each ETF targets.

  • Assess their performance: Analyze historical returns and compare them to benchmarks.

  • Evaluate their costs: Compare expense ratios and other fees.

  • Identify potential overlap: Avoid over-concentration in specific stocks or sectors.

Introducing Double's ETF Comparison Tool

Our powerful tool empowers you to directly compare any two US-traded ETFs side-by-side, unlocking a deeper understanding of their similarities and differences.

Key Features:

  • Correlation Analysis: See how closely the price movements of two ETFs track each other. A high correlation suggests they tend to move in the same direction, while a low correlation indicates more independent movement. For example, QQQ (which tracks the Nasdaq-100) and SPY (which tracks the S&P 500) often exhibit a high correlation.

  • Detailed ETF Information: Access essential details for each ETF, including:

    • Inception Date: When the ETF was launched.

    • Assets Under Management (AUM): The total market value of the ETF's holdings.

    • Dividend Yield: The annual dividend income per share, expressed as a percentage of the ETF's price.

  • Holdings Breakdown: Dive into the specific holdings of each ETF, including:

    • Company Names: See exactly which companies are included in the ETF.

    • Weights: Understand the proportion of each company within the ETF's portfolio. This visual breakdown helps you grasp the ETF's investment strategy.

  • Holding Overlap: Discover the percentage of holdings that two ETFs share. A high overlap means the ETFs invest in many of the same companies, potentially leading to less diversification if you hold both.

  • Highly Correlated ETFs and Stocks: Identify ETFs and individual stocks that have historically shown a strong price correlation with the ETFs you're comparing. This can help you discover similar investment options or understand potential diversification benefits.

Example: Comparing QQQ and SPY

Let's say you're considering QQQ and SPY. Our tool would show you:

  • Their correlation.

  • Their inception dates, AUM, and dividend yields.

  • A detailed list of their holdings and weights. For instance, you might see that both hold significant amounts of Apple and Microsoft, but with different weightings.

  • The percentage of their holding overlap.

  • Other ETFs and stocks highly correlated to QQQ and SPY, such as VOO or QQQM.
