Stated objectives of 4 top ranked US Large Cap Growth ETFs:

QQQ – Invesco QQQ is an exchange-traded fund based on the Nasdaq-100 Index®. The Fund will, under most circumstances, consist of all of stocks in the Index. The Index includes 100 of the largest domestic and international nonfinancial companies listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market based on market capitalization. The Fund and the Index are rebalanced quarterly and reconstituted annually.

FPX – The First Trust US Equity Opportunities ETF (the “Fund”), formerly First Trust US IPO Index Fund, seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before the Fund’s fees and expenses) of an equity index called the IPOX®-100 U.S. Index. The Fund will normally invest at least 90% of its net assets (including investment borrowings) in the common stocks that comprise the Index. The IPOX®-100 U.S. Index is a modified value-weighted price index measuring the performance of the top 100 companies ranked quarterly by market capitalization in the IPOX® Global Composite Index. The index utilizes a 10% capping on all constituents and includes the 100 largest, typically best performing and most liquid U.S. public offerings (“IPOs”) in the IPOX® Global Composite Index. Index constituents are selected based on quantitative initial screens. In general, eligible constituents are added on the sixth day of trading and remain eligible to be included in the Index for approximately four years. The index is reconstituted and adjusted quarterly.
Potential Benefits of the First Trust US Equity Opportunities ETF Systematic exposure to U.S. equity capital and private equity activity and the growth and innovativeness of the U.S. economy via a semi-passive indexing approach.
Based on well researched, totally disciplined and transparent index methodology. The IPOX®-100 U.S. Index has historically captured around 85% of total market capitalization created through U.S. IPO activity during the past four years. Tilt towards mid- and large-cap stocks. Investment tool for buy-and-hold investors seeking timely and systematic IPO exposure as well as active market participants due to dynamic index properties.

ONEQ – FIDELITY NASDAQ COMPOSITE INDEX. The investment seeks to provide investment returns that closely correspond to the price and yield performance of the Nasdaq Composite Index. The fund normally invests at least 80% of assets in common stocks included in the index. It uses statistical sampling techniques that take into account such factors as capitalization, industry exposures, dividend yield, price/earnings (P/E) ratio, price/book (P/B) ratio, and earnings growth to create a portfolio of securities listed in the Nasdaq Composite Index that have a similar investment profile to the entire index. The fund may operate as a non-diversified fund, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act), as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the Index.

IWY – The iShares Russell Top 200 Growth ETF seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of large-capitalization U.S. equities that exhibit growth characteristics. Exposure to large U.S. companies whose earnings are expected to grow at an above-average rate relative to the market. Targeted access to a specific category of large-cap domestic stocks. Use to tilt your portfolio towards growth stocks.
