5. VBK:
https://investor.vanguard.com/etf/pro...
- This is a fund that tracks about 639 stocks that are known as Small Caps. Small cap companies are those that typically have a market capitalization of between $300 million and $2 billion - so smaller companies with bigger potentials for upside.
- The fund has a breakdown of 24.4% of their holdings in Healthcare, followed by Industrials, Tech, and Consumer Discretionary companies.
- What I do like about this fund is that not any one of the holdings represents more than 0.67% of the entire fund, which means that in case one of these stocks happens to go bankrupt, it doesn't threaten the entire existence of your investment.
- The return since its inception in 2004 has been roughly 11% annualized, and in the last 3 years has returned 19%.
- Vanguard ETFs are some of the cheapest on the market, and this has an expense ratio of about 0.07%, so that means for every $10,000 you have invested, you'll pay about $7 a year in fees which is pretty cheap.
4. IWP:
https://www.ishares.com/us/products/2...
- The iShares Mid-Cap Growth ETF is like the big brother to VBK, essentially it follows a similar approach to VBK but invests in Mid sized companies, or those that are between $2 and $10 billion in total market cap.
- It encompasses 356 stocks, Its largest sectors are IT, Health Care, and Industrials, and not a single holding is more than 1.43% of the entire fund.
- In terms of its top 10 holdings, we see that it owns great companies like Chipotle, Docusign, and Spotify.
- For its performance since it was created, its been returning about 9.9% annualized, and in the past 3 years its returned 19%+.
3. IBUY:
https://amplifyetfs.com/ibuy
This is a Growth ETF that doesn't focus on a specific market cap size, rather, it just focuses on companies that generate their revenue through online sales. in fact, its a bakset of publicly-traded companies that obtain 70% or more of revenue from online or virtual sales
- This fund is way more expensive than the others on today's list with the expense ratio being 0.65% - which is nearly 9x the average Vanguard fund.
- The return since inception has been well over 38%, and the 3 year return is 40.57%
2. QQQ
https://www.invesco.com/qqq-etf/en/ab...
- It's one of the highest rated ETFs, 2nd most traded ETF, and gives you access to 100 of the largest NON-financial companies in the Nasdaq
- Its return since inception is about 9.38%, and for the past 3 years 27.34%. Its expense ratio is 0.2% which makes it pretty reasonable.
1. VUG:
https://investor.vanguard.com/etf/pro...
This is a fund that is comprised of 260 stocks out there that are targeted for growth, and most notably they are Large Cap stocks.
- The expense ratio is 0.04%, or $4 annually for every $10,000 invested! Which is our cheapest pick of the day - can you tell I hate fees?
- Return wise, it's performed really great since inception around 11% and the past 3 years 23%.
