About Us

In their relatively short history, ETFs have become a key part of many individuals’ and institutional portfolios. ETF Labs is bringing balanced diversification to this vital landscape, by establishing the world’s first ETF fund made up of ranked ETFs.

The idea to bundle ETFs is already revolutionary, but our proprietary method of ranking and selecting top funds is what truly sets us apart—by avoiding active management, gut instincts and emotion.

Wall Street talks about following the smart money, but in our 30 years of experience, we’ve watched plenty of brilliant minds make bad decisions. Instead, we follow the logical money, using a rules-based engine to focus on a desirable pool of ETFs and then applying strict rules to determine which are most attractive to own at a particular time.

Of course, all ETFs come with inherent risks. Like any investment, they can have banner years, face doldrums, or plummet painfully. But where some individual ETFs are locked into underlying securities for an entire year, we re-evaluate our investments every three months, so you can buy and hold without the concern of being committed to any investment for too long.

These philosophies have guided us in creating an entirely new allocation sector that can play an important role in your portfolio or be the cornerstone of an entire investment strategy.
