# Fund and ETF Returns Data on Snowflake, Compared

> How Fruit Stand's Fund Returns dataset compares to other fund and ETF data on Snowflake Marketplace: coverage, pricing, and access model.

*By Fruit Stand Team · August 18, 2026 · Comparisons*

If you're evaluating fund and ETF returns data on Snowflake Marketplace,
it's worth knowing what's actually out there before you buy. We looked at
the other fund- and ETF-related listings on the Marketplace to see how
they compare to [Fund Returns](/datasets/fund-returns): what each one
covers, whether it computes returns at all, which return periods it
publishes, how it's priced, how you get access, and how often the data
refreshes.

## What this actually shows

Most of what's available for funds and ETFs on Snowflake Marketplace isn't
a standalone returns product. **ETF Global** covers fund *flows* (money
moving in and out), which is a different question than trailing or
calendar year performance.

**FactSet** and **Morningstar** do compute fund and ETF returns as part of
their much broader platforms, so it would be misleading to say they can't.
But neither sells that as a self-serve, flat-fee "fund returns" product the
way Fruit Stand does: FactSet's ETF data is licensed through its own
enterprise catalog, and Morningstar's Snowflake listing found under this
search is scoped to equity returns and statistics rather than a dedicated
mutual fund/ETF returns product (Managed Investment Data, the category that
would cover funds specifically, was announced for later in 2026 and we
haven't seen a public listing for it as of this writing).

**CRSP** (now a Morningstar company as of its February 2026 acquisition) is
the closest thing to a direct comparison in spirit: a survivor-bias-free US
mutual fund database built specifically around computed returns, the same
principle Fruit Stand uses to keep delisted funds' history intact. Its
returns are monthly, though, not broken out across the 16 trailing periods
Fruit Stand publishes, and it's distributed as a subscription product to
academic and institutional licensees rather than sold as a flat self-serve
Marketplace listing.

**Nasdaq eVestment** and **CFRA Research** both
compute returns too, but for different audiences and scopes: eVestment is
built for allocators evaluating hedge funds and alternatives, while CFRA's
ETF data spans a global universe (19,000+ ETFs) with its own STARS ratings
layered on top and a genuinely detailed return schema, daily, 1-month,
3-month, YTD, and 1-year trailing returns, annualized 3/5/10-year and
since-inception returns, plus discrete year-by-year prior returns going
back five years. Where a provider's specific return periods aren't publicly
documented, those cells are marked "Not published" rather than guessed at.

## Where Fruit Stand fits

[Fund Returns](/datasets/fund-returns) is built to answer one question
well: what has this fund or ETF actually returned. 32,000+ US funds and
ETFs, trailing returns across 16 periods from 1-day out to 20-year and
since-inception, plus calendar year returns going back to each fund's own
start date. It refreshes incrementally most weekdays and does a full
rebuild of the entire universe twice a week, and it's a flat \$250/month
with no enterprise sales process, no custom quote, and no separate
contract to negotiate: browse the [Snowflake Marketplace
listing](https://app.snowflake.com/marketplace/listing/GZTYZ40XYU5) and
start querying.

## F.A.Q.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How was this comparison put together?">
    From each provider's own Snowflake Marketplace listing where it was accessible, plus their public product pages and press releases. Where a specific detail (a price, a return period, a refresh cadence) wasn't publicly documented, the cell is marked "Not published" rather than estimated.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Which listing has the broadest fund/ETF coverage?">
    It depends what you're counting. CRSP covers the most individual mutual funds (64,000+, US-only, active and delisted). CFRA Research covers the most ETFs globally (19,000+, 98% global coverage). Fruit Stand covers 32,000+ US funds and ETFs combined with full computed trailing and calendar year returns on every one of them.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is Fruit Stand cheaper than the other providers listed here?">
    We can't say for certain, none of the other providers publish a price, so there's nothing to compare against directly. What we can say is that Fruit Stand is the only one on this list with a flat, public, self-serve price (\$250/month): every other listing requires requesting access or a custom quote before you see a number.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How often is this comparison updated?">
    Vendor offerings on Snowflake Marketplace change, new listings appear and existing ones add categories (as Morningstar's Managed Investment Data is expected to). This page reflects what was publicly available as of the "Last updated" date above; check each provider's own listing for their current terms.
