IWYBiShares Russell Top 200 Growth ETF

SCHGASchwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF

In short

IWY IWY takes the growth half of America's largest companies: about 100 stocks from the Russell Top 200 Growth Index, screened on growth forecasts and sales growth. Big-company growth, and only big-company growth.

SCHG Schwab's growth workhorse: roughly 200 large-cap U.S. growth names for four basis points, one of the cheapest tickets in a crowded category. Running since 2009 and among the most heavily traded growth funds around.

Stated mandate

IWY The fund seeks to track an index of large-capitalization U.S. equities selected for growth characteristics, including growth forecasts and sales growth. It provides targeted exposure to U.S. large-cap growth stocks.

SCHG SCHG seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the total return of the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Growth Total Stock Market Index. It generally invests in stocks included in that index, which represents large-cap U.S. growth equities.

Why people hold it

  • IWY The mandate is literal. An index of large-cap US names selected on growth forecasts and sales growth, and a portfolio that stays tightly matched to it.ishares.com
  • About 100 holdings, so you get concentrated growth exposure rather than a diluted slice of the whole market wearing a growth label.
  • Live since 2009 and a multi-billion-dollar fund under the iShares roof, with the operational track record that implies.
  • SCHG 0.04% a year against a growth-category median of 0.18%. Costs sit near the floor of the group.
  • Hews closely to the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Growth Total Stock Market Index, one of the tighter index implementations in its peer group.
  • Live since 2009, a multi-billion-dollar fund, and one of the busier tickers in the growth aisle, so entering and exiting is usually cheap and easy.
  • The benchmark is carved out of a total-market growth index, not S&P 500 membership, so a stock does not need an index committee's nod to qualify.

Worth knowing

  • IWY At 0.20% a year it costs more than the cheapest large-cap growth trackers: VUG charges 0.03% and SCHG 0.04%.
  • A roughly 100-stock big-cap growth roster concentrates the outcome in a handful of household names. It rides with them in both directions.
  • Distributions arrive quarterly, but a growth screen leans toward companies that reinvest rather than pay out. Income is a byproduct here.
  • SCHG Growth-only by design. Value and dividend-heavy corners of the market sit outside the mandate, so the ride differs from a total-market fund.
  • Large-cap U.S. only, roughly 200 stocks. No mid-caps, no small-caps, nothing overseas.
  • VUG charges a hair less for a similar broad-growth mandate. A tiny gap, but it is there. Distributions here arrive quarterly.
