iShares Core S&P US Growth ETF

IUSG

Market cap $26.3B

The iShares Core S&P U.S. Growth ETF (IUSG) made its debut on 07/24/2000, and is a smart beta exchange traded fund that provides broad exposure to the Style Box - All Cap Growth category of the market.

The iShares Core S&P U.S. Growth ETF offers low-cost, high-beta exposure to U.S. growth equities, but valuations appear stretched. IUSG's concentration in technology and communication sectors, with top 10 holdings comprising 54% of assets, limits true diversification. With a P/E of 39x and P/B of 10.22, IUSG reflects a mature market cycle and limited upside, especially if AI-driven momentum falters.

Growth ETFs stand out as growth forecasts rise, Fed cut hopes build and investors pour billions back into U.S. equities.

Growth ETFs like VUG, IWF and SPYG shine as easing inflation, Fed rate cuts and upbeat earnings fuel bullish momentum in U.S. markets.

The iShares Core S&P U.S. Growth ETF offers broad growth exposure but consistently underperforms more focused growth ETFs like VUG, SCHG, and QQQ. IUSG's diluted large-cap content and minimal mid-cap allocation fail to deliver meaningful alpha or risk mitigation in most market regimes. Despite its low 0.04% expense ratio, IUSG's performance lags due to lower tech exposure and high concentration risk, matching drawdowns seen in QQQ.

Rate cut bets, record highs and strong earnings power growth ETFs like VUG, IWF, IVW, SPYG and IUSG into the spotlight.

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.
