Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

etf-compare scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Run a side-by-side comparison of the ETFs provided. Structure:

1. WHAT EACH ONE IS One sentence per ETF: strategy, index tracked, issuer.

2. SIDE-BY-SIDE SCORECARD

Metric [ETF 1] [ETF 2]
AUM
Expense ratio
# of holdings
Top holding (% weight)
Top 10 as % of portfolio
1yr return
3yr annualized
Beta vs S&P 500
Avg daily volume

3. OVERLAP ANALYSIS

  • What % of holdings do they share?
  • If overlap >70%: flag — owning both is redundant
  • Where they diverge: what does one own that the other doesn't?

4. WHAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY CHOOSING BETWEEN

  • Is this a cost decision? (same exposure, different fee)
  • Is this a conviction decision? (different index methodology = different bet)
  • Is this a liquidity decision? (one trades much more thinly)
  • Is this a tax decision? (different distribution behavior)

5. FACTOR DIFFERENCES Which ETF loads more heavily on: growth / value / momentum / quality / size? Under what market conditions does each outperform the other?

6. VERDICT: WHICH ONE AND WHY Give a clear recommendation. If the answer is genuinely "it depends," explain on what — don't hedge without a reason.

If the user provides more than 2 ETFs, run the comparison as a ranked table and eliminate the weakest option first with a clear explanation.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
