Is your ETF beating its benchmark?
Every ETF is measured against an index or benchmark. See which ETFs have done best and worst against theirs over 1, 3 and 5 years, after fees, or type in any ETF to check it.

Covers 162 ETFs so far. Geared, inverse and complex funds (such as hedged commodity futures) are left out, because they are built to move differently from their index.
How to read it
Difference is the ETF's return after fees minus its benchmark's return. For an index fund, you expect a small shortfall about the size of the fee: VAS charging 0.07% and trailing its index by about 0.07% is doing its job. A bigger gap means the fund is tracking its index less closely.
For an active fund, the difference shows whether the manager has added value after fees. One good or bad year proves little: the 3 and 5 year figures matter more.
Figures come from each issuer's own website or fact sheet (for a few active funds, from InvestSMART's Morningstar data), so the fund and its benchmark are measured the same way and to the same date. Issuers update at different times, so dates vary by ETF. These are fund (NAV) returns, which can differ slightly from the ASX price returns used elsewhere on this site. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns.
