How to evaluate an ETF?
Post Body

After researching "fire and forget" ETFs for long-term passive investing, it seems everyone circles back to Vanguard LifeStrategy. However, a few kind folks pointed out that I may not be evaluating them correctly, as I am overvaluing YTD against other key indicators.

Given that I am aiming for long-term growth, should I be looking at historical performance instead? What about other factors such as standard deviation? To me, returns and growth seem like the single biggest factors.

Generally I want to be educated enough that I can make informed decisions about what I purchase.
