It's not enough to compare ETFs solely on the basis of their MER by assuming a fund that is cheaper by 3 or 4 basis points will automatically outperform a competitor by that same amount. An ETF with a slightly higher fee but consistently lower tracking error might turn out to be a better choice. You can usually learn the fund's tracking error by visiting its web page: the major ETF providers (including iShares, Vanguard and BMO) publish both fund returns and benchmark returns (e.g. XUU lagged its benchmark by 1.52% in 2020). You can also find this information in the Management Report of Fund Performance: this document is typically published twice a year, and you can download a copy on the fund provider's website. [2021] - Dan Bortolotti
