The test: its stated objective. Hedged equity promises to fall less than stocks: at most 80% of the S&P 500's down weeks is delivered. Market neutral promises returns apart from stocks: a correlation within 0.3 of zero is delivered. Other strategies state no measurable objective and are not measured. 69 funds are not measured: its strategy, systematic trend, states no objective ETFIQ can measure (22); its strategy, long-short equity, states no objective ETFIQ can measure (11); no other ETF tracks the index it names, so its tracking cannot be measured (9). The category's Promise Index leads with the share of its measured funds that Delivered, with the share of its measured net assets they hold beside it. The order is net assets, largest first. The list sorts one published number, with no scoring or weighting.
