Exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, are often low-cost instruments for investors to track popular indexes or leverage experienced manager choices in an attempt to beat the market. The best ones serve as building blocks for a portfolio, and unlike open-end mutual funds, all ETFs are traded throughout the day on an exchange.In January 2025, the top-performing ETFs included equity precious metals funds L&G Gold Mining AUCO and UBS Solactive Global Pure Gold Miners GGMUSY. Data in this article is sourced from Morningstar Direct.Screening for the Best-Performing ETFsTo find the month’s best-performing ETFs, we screened those in Morningstar’s equity, allocation, or fixed-income categories that are available in the UK. We excluded exchange-traded notes, known as ETNs, and ETFs with less than $25 million (£20.0 million) in total assets. We also excluded funds that fall into Morningstar’s “trading” categories, as these funds are designed for active traders and are not suitable for long-term investors.Within our list, six funds fell into the equity precious metals category, where the average name rose 13.74% in January.The 10 Best-Performing ETFs for January 20251.
