General Guidelines

fees

Target ETFs with the lowest expenses (total expense ratio %). European exchange-listed ETFs generally have higher fees than US exchange-listed ones. “Atypical” ETFs will also charge higher fees.

Liquidity

Seek ETFs with plentiful daily trading volumes. European ETFs may transact outside of an exchange, distorting liquidity signals. ETFs are only as liquid as the underlying securities they hold. Target minimum ETF market capitulation of USD 500 million.

types

Physically-backed, full replication ETFs are more desirable, other things equal. Contractual (or “swap-based”) may involve counterparty-risk. “Closed-end” listed funds (not classic ETFs) may trade at varying discounts/ premiums to the net asset value (NAV).

exotics

Be cautious of leveraged, inverse and commodity (holding futures contracts) ETFs. The resultant performance is often not intuitive.
