Stated objectives of 5 top ranked U.S. Large Cap Growth ETFs:

QQQ – Invesco QQQTM 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.

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.

ONEQ – Fidelity Nasdaq Composite Index ETF. 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.

MGK – Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF. Seeks to track the performance of the CRSP US Mega Cap Growth Index. Employs a passively managed, full-replication approach. Provides a convenient way to get diversified exposure to the largest growth stocks in the U.S. market. With respect to 75% of its total assets, the fund may not: (1) purchase more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer or (2) purchase securities of any issuer if, as a result, more than 5% of the fund’s total assets would be invested in that issuer’s securities; except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index. This limitation does not apply to obligations of the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities.

SCHG – Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF. The fund’s goal is to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Growth Total Stock Market Index. A straightforward, low-cost fund offering potential tax-efficiency. The Fund can serve as part of the core of a diversified portfolio. Simple access to large-cap U.S. equities that exhibit growth style characteristics. Stocks are classified as growth based on a number of factors.
