Passive investing, and more specifically, ETFs, have had a killer year.

The funds, which aim to mirror the performance of a single sector or index, have been extremely popular among investors for their low fees and predictable returns.

ETFs are a huge driver of growth in today's bull market. Exchange traded funds will purchase $300 billion in equities this year, which is more than 2015 and 2016 combined. Moody's thinks more than half the stock market will be owned by ETFs by 2024. There may be no stopping the popular funds.

Investing in ETFs is easy to do, but picking the right ETFs is a bit more complicated. To help, we compiled a list of the best ETFs, ranked by 2017 performance, using Bloomberg data.
