### Method

Both inputs are published: the fee from the prospectus, the index weight from the fund's own holdings filing. The product is the fee a holder pays on the part of the fund the S&P 500 already covers. The list sorts one published number, with no scoring or weighting. Every fund ETFIQ covers in this category is eligible, closed funds included.
