iShares Core S&P US Growth ETF

IUSG

Market cap $24.4B

iShares Core S&P U.S. Growth ETF closely tracks major indices, with low expenses and similar sector weightings, making it still a broad market play despite a different name from "S&P 500." Tariffs, especially those set to increase in August, pose inflation risks that could impact the cost of capital and long-horizon growth stocks. Despite low U.S. export exposure, tariffs raise domestic prices.

Growth ETFs like MGK, VUG, IWY, IUSG, and SPYG and others hit fresh highs as investors shrug off tariff threats and chase AI-fueled momentum.

IUSG offers low-cost, diversified growth exposure, but its heavy tech weighting and high valuation introduce significant idiosyncratic risk. Recent performance has been slightly better than that of the S&P 500, with modest volatility, but the bullish case is more supported by technicals than by fundamentals. Macroeconomic risks—including slowing GDP, softening labor market, and inflation uncertainty—suggest the current growth trend is unsustainable in the short term.

With AI-driven momentum and Fed cut hopes fueling gains, growth and large-cap ETFs like VUG and VOO are drawing investor focus.

IUSG follows a growth-oriented strategy but lags behind peers due to conservative allocations in key growth sectors like technology and consumer discretionary. The ETF offers exposure to U.S. mid- and large-cap companies with above-average growth profiles, focusing heavily on technology, communication services, and consumer discretionary. IUSG's valuation is lower than peers, with a P/E ratio of 26.9x, but it has outperformed broader indexes like the Russell 1000.
