Our read on IVW
BThe 2000-vintage original for S&P 500 growth exposure: roughly 150 large caps chosen by a three-factor rules screen, cap-weighted, no manager discretion. Big and liquid, though cheaper trackers of the same benchmark now exist.
The fund seeks to track an index of U.S. large-cap stocks exhibiting strong growth characteristics, selected using measures including earnings and revenue growth.
Why people hold it
- A 2000-vintage original among style ETFs, now a multi-billion-dollar fund whose returns hug its index very closely.
- The growth screen is mechanical: sales growth, earnings change to price, and 12-month price momentum. Rules pick the names, not a stock picker.barchart.com
- Actively traded with the iShares plumbing behind it, which supports tight spreads on retail-size orders.
- Pays a distribution quarterly and sits in the upper half of the US growth cohort on overall build quality.
Worth knowing
- At 0.18%, it costs the category median, while SPYG follows the same S&P 500 Growth benchmark for 0.04% and SCHG runs at 0.04%.
- Roughly 150 cap-weighted names, so the biggest growth companies drive most of the movement.
- This is one half of a style split: the growth side of the S&P 500 only, with the value side living in a separate fund.barchart.com
