Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) present investors with particular challenges in the assessment: Product quality, index quality as well as information quality and transparency play a special role.

ETF ratings combine qualitative and quantitative methods, partly objectified in scoring models, and condensed features into panel results.

Everling and Kirchhoff are now presenting the first book on the topic, which raises the understanding of ETF benchmarks and approaches and highlights the value of ETF ratings in investment practice.

Given the abundance of information available on the Internet about ETF rating, the book provides an overview and identifies the relevant information for the evaluation of ETFs among the many sales information.
