Who is behind it
ETFIQ is led by Adam Patti, who is also CEO of VistaShares, an ETF issuer. VistaShares is a separate company. It has no role in ETFIQ's data, rankings or news, and pays ETFIQ nothing. VistaShares funds are measured by the same rules as every other fund. ETFIQ is not a broker-dealer or an investment adviser. It takes no payment from issuers and makes no recommendations. Nothing on this site is investment advice.
How a figure gets onto a page
Every night ETFIQ reads its sources directly: issuer files, exchange prices and distributions, SEC N-PORT filings for holdings, and prospectus data for fees. A second program recomputes every published number from the same raw sources, with separate code. Every disagreement is logged and fixed. Each page carries the date its figures apply to, and their source. Errors are recorded on the corrections page with the date, not quietly changed.
Using it
Use the figures ETFIQ computes free, with attribution and the as-of date. Issuer data stays under its owner's terms. Every dataset is open JSON at a stable address. The methodology defines each field. Standards and sources lists what ETFIQ publishes and what it will not.
