Best Fit Specialty: Equity

These specialty funds are complex funds and may not be appropriate for the average investor. The list includes some ETFs as well as ETNs (exchange-traded notes), which are senior, unsecured debt securities that don't issue coupon payments or offer principal protection. Some reset their positions daily and are not intended to be long-term investments.

All ranked ETFs meet our Best Fit criteria.
