As of Oct 27, 2026 .\n The ETFIQ scores\n See how every fund ranks inside its own category. Each score is a percentile within a stated set.\n A score of 90 means that, counting itself and any tie as half, the fund scored higher than 90% of its set. The number behind each score is shown beside it. 1,637 funds scored in 7 categories. Updated Oct 27, 2026. How each score is computed .\n Buffer ETFs Downside Cover Score If the market falls into a bear market from here, how much does the buffer absorb? 292 funds scored.

Bond ETFs Rate Cushion Score How far can rates rise in a year before the year's income is gone? 237 funds scored. What a percentile does\n A percentile says where a fund sits, not how good it is. It moves when the set moves: a fund can slip two points on a day it did nothing, because other funds improved. That is why the source number is printed beside every score.\n Where to next\n How each one is computed The scores file Rankings Open data ETF statistics Most liquid ETFs Most liquid small ETFs Low-volume ETFs with deep liquidity How the IQ Liquidity Score is built A score is not a rating and no order on this site is an opinion.
