Scanning for ETF SCTRs

In the advanced scan is it possible to scan for "fund" and SCTR? On the SC home page the SCTR reports show that ETFs have SCTRs but they don't seem to show up in an advanced scan.."fund" by itself returns 999, but include a SCTR parameter and you get 0.
Thanks for answering. Dave

    This scan will show you ETFs that have a SCTR. Not all do.

    // begin scan
    [group is ETF]

    rank by SCTR

    // end scan

    To get ETFs above, say, 90:

    // begin scan
    [group is ETF]

    and [ SCTR > 90]

    rank by SCTR

    // end scan

    You could also try:


    //begin scan
    [name contains "fund"]

    rank by SCTR

    // end scan

    But the results include symbols for things that don't have fund in the name, so I'm not sure what "fund" is actually looking for. Some results seem to be companies, not funds, but maybe they are organized as something other than the usual corporation (like a REIT, for instance). So if you are looking specifically for ETFs, [group is ETF] is probably a more reliable method.
