Good sites to compare ETFs

Options
Afternoon all. My portfolio is currently mainly invested within funds but I'm considering branching out to use ETFs as well so want to research what's available via some kind of ETF comparison site.

Unfortunately the sites I've found in the UK seem to be fairly basic, so I wondered what the MSE folk use to break down the vast range available.

Many thanks.

    In my view the best site for information is https://www.trustnet.com. https://www.morningstar.co.uk may give more detailed information but it is not so easy to find the fund you want.



    I cant see what an ETF comparison site would give you since most ETFs are trackers, so what is important is the Index they track. And presumably you know what Index you want to track from your investment strategy/top level allocation.

    Well I'm looking to cover global mid/small companies, but trustnet only shows small caps for Europe, Japan and USA. I assume I would have to select International to bring back the ETFs for the global market, but then there's hundreds and they don't always have the most meaningful names.

    I am interested in IWFS (but I'd prefer an income version) but without knowing what it contained I wouldn't have guessed it was an equal weighting of mid cap shares.

    There's a note on this recent article highlighting withholding tax and non - EU domiciled ETF's.

    Many thanks for that suggestion, that is just the kind of thing I was looking for - unfortunately you have to pay for Premium access to get to the dividend yield, but I can get that elsewhere and everything else is easy to use and navigate to break down the ETFs and indices they track.
