FTGS: This Well-Rounded Large-Cap Growth ETF Comes With A Catch
FTGS is a relatively new equal-weighted large-cap growth fund with a 0.60% expense ratio and $610 million in assets under management. The selection process begins by identifying high-quality stocks through cash on hand, long-term debt to market cap ratios, and return on equity. Growth screens narrow the list to 50 stocks. The result is a portfolio that looks excellent on paper. FTGS is well-diversified by sector, features a 21% three-year earnings growth rate, and trades at just 19.17x forward earnings.
