Closelooknet rankings · Inside the ETFs
The funds with the broadest strength inside
The covered funds ranked by their median member’s 21-day return — where the typical holding is strongest, not just the headline.
Here the ranking flips from disagreement to agreement: funds sorted by their median member’s 21-day return. A high median means the typical member is rising — broad strength, not a headline carried by two heavyweights. Read it next to the dispersion column: broad AND tight is the strongest internal picture a fund can show.

Dispersion = spread of member returns, in percentage points. Median member = the typical holding’s return. A/D 90d = the fund’s cumulative advance/decline line over the last 90 sessions — rising means most members participate, falling means the shell hides internal decline. Up/down counts members in the last session; beat/lag counts members ahead of or behind the fund itself over 21 days. All 40 covered funds are shown — both ends of the table are the story.

FAQ
What does dispersion mean here?
How far apart the returns of a fund’s members are over a window, in percentage points. High dispersion means the members disagree — big winners and big losers behind one headline number. Low dispersion means the fund is moving as one block.
Why does internal disagreement matter?
Two funds can print the same return for opposite reasons: one carried by a couple of heavyweights while the rest falls, the other lifted by nearly every member. The first is fragile, the second is broad. Dispersion and the median member separate those two cases.
How often is this ranking updated?
The dispersion engine runs after every US market close across the covered funds and Closelooknet indices. This page is rebuilt every morning and always shows the date of the run it was built from.
