Trade Republic now offers over 400 iShares ETFs and ETF savings plans.<\/strong> In this article, we take a look at the 40 best iShares ETFs for long-term investors.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But before we get started, we need to narrow down our options right from the outset. This is because there are also ETFs that aren\u2019t designed for long-term saving. So, out of the 400 ETFs on Trade Republik, we\u2019ll only consider those that invest in shares. All the others \u2013 those investing in bonds, the money market, commodities and property \u2013 are out. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although each of these may well be a useful addition to one\u2019s own portfolio, that is not what we wish to compare here. This brings us to 227 equity ETFs, and of these we will take a closer look at the top 40. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Criteria<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Costs<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first thing I decided was that the costs must be less than 0.5 per cent per year. This means that they simply aren\u2019t too expensive and don\u2019t eat into the entire return. That\u2019s a strict limit, and I\u2019ve allowed for exceptions here because, in my opinion, that\u2019s simply too much for an ETF. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assets under management<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s move on to assets under management. For me, that has to be at least 250 million euros, or 100 million euros. That\u2019s the absolute lower limit. So if an ETF<\/a> manages less than 100 million euros, it\u2019s very likely not worth it for the provider. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And once the value reaches around 250 million, that\u2019s when it really starts to pay off. And then the provider won\u2019t discontinue the ETF either, which would, of course, be disastrous for a long-term investment, as you\u2019d then have to reallocate everything again and end up with a lot of unnecessary work. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exotic ETFs<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are ETFs that specialise in specific sectors, such as hydrogen, for example, which is a good example of an industry that is currently experiencing a resurgence. However, I have omitted these specialised ETFs \u2013 whether they focus on healthcare, digitalisation or hydrogen \u2013 as these may simply be trends where one invests not for the long term but for the medium term, and where one also needs to take an active approach. <\/span>If you\u2019re interested in the ETFs I\u2019m mentioning here, you can also use the tracking difference as an additional criterion. I\u2019ve explained what that is in this <\/span>A closer look at the video<\/a><\/span>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
