Method
The 32 ETFs in the broad innovation and megatrends theme, of which 30 publish net assets, ranked on the most recent figure for each. Across the funds listed here the weight held in S&P 500 companies runs from 0.0% to 77.4%. Size is not a measure of anything a fund did. It is where the money is. 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.
