Many would assume that Barclays is the king of ETFs, with good reason. Still, when Vanguard decided to enter the market, you could easily imagine a frenzied competition for the throne. So who offers the superior product? Morningstar takes a look at each line up and concludes: "Barclays clearly has the scale, skill, and expertise to run a big family of index funds... Don't go with Barclays on reputation alone, though. Vanguard's rock-bottom costs, well-designed benchmarks, and indexing expertise make it an extremely competitive and, at times, better, alternative."
