Our read on IWP
BMid-cap growth, undiluted: about 300 US companies too big to be startups, too small to be mega-caps, screened by Russell for growth traits. Trading since 2001, which makes it one of the elders of the style.
The fund seeks to follow an index of U.S. mid-cap stocks selected for growth characteristics, including measures such as growth forecasts and sales growth.
Why people hold it
- Does what the label says: follows the Russell MidCap Growth Index closely, holding roughly 300 stocks with no manager guesswork layered on top.
- Open since 2001 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively, so buying and selling rarely means wrestling with a wide spread.
- Fills the gap the giants skip. The cheapest, best-known growth ETFs (VUG, SCHG, SPYG) are large-cap builds; this one stakes out the middle tier of the market.
- Distributions land on a quarterly schedule, and the mandate stays entirely in US-listed equities.
Worth knowing
- Price of admission: 0.23% a year, above the typical fund in its growth group, and well above large-cap growth rivals that charge a few basis points.
- Growth-priced mid-caps are among the choppier corners of the US equity market, and this fund holds them straight, with no value ballast.
- One style, one size band. Mid-cap value names and large-cap leaders sit outside the index, so this is a slice, not a core US holding.
