The Invesco First Trust Small Cap Growth AlphaDEX ETF offers diversified, rules-based exposure to U.S. small-cap growth stocks with a unique sector mix. FYC outperforms both the Russell 2000 and small-cap growth peers over 3- and 5-year periods, though with higher volatility and turnover. The ETF trades at a mid-range valuation (20.5x P/E), has a strong bias toward healthcare and industrials, but lags in profitability versus the benchmark.

FYC is a passively managed ETF targeting high-growth names in the small-cap arena. FYC has beaten a few SMID peers since the index change but underperformed the market proxied with IVV. Risk metrics, including the maximum drawdowns, have been especially worrisome. FYC's factor mix is not to my liking. While its growth characteristics look strong, exposure to low-quality and high-beta stocks is an issue.
