FDG: A High Volatility, Premium Valuation Growth ETF
FDG offers a concentrated, high-growth portfolio with mega-cap tech, consumer discretionary, and healthcare overweights, but limited diversification versus peers. The fund trades at a premium valuation (28.8x earnings), reflecting strong growth but raising concerns about risk, volatility, and downside exposure. Performance is volatile: strong in bull markets but underperforms and suffers steeper drawdowns in downturns, with higher costs and lower liquidity than competitors.
