The cheapest copper ETFs
A fee is one fact and not a verdict on the fund. Where the funds on a theme hold different companies, the cheapest is not even the same bet, and the holdings are on the theme page.

The rest of the method
A fee is the one number a fund controls and the one a holder pays whatever happens. The ranking is the published field sorted, nothing else: no scoring, no weighting and no view on any fund. Every fund ETFIQ covers in this category is eligible, including funds that have closed, because leaving them out would flatter the category.
ETFIQ links to the documents behind every figure; a link is not an endorsement. A ranking is not a recommendation and no order on this site is an opinion.
