Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) offer investors a cost-effective way to invest in a wide range of assets and indexes, including specific sectors like technology, energy, and real estate. There are even ETFs that hold Bitcoin!

Picking an ETF may not be an easy task, however, as there are over 3,200 of them trading in the U.S. alone.

To help you get started, we’ve put together a list of the largest ETF within every major stock sector. Picking an ETF with a larger AUM is often beneficial as it can indicate better liquidity and potentially lower expense ratios compared to those with smaller AUMs.
