IWF: Concentration And Low Responsiveness Vs. Growth
iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF offers aggressive growth exposure with high tech concentration, resulting in significant concentration risk despite a large number of holdings. Performance outpaces most active funds and matches passive peers, with superior upside in rallies and similar drawdowns to alternatives like SPYG and VUG. Concentration risk, especially in tech mega caps, is a real concern and could hurt in a sector-specific downturn, but hasn't materialized historically.

GGUS Vs. IWF: Why Large Tech Allocation Matters Even Now, Go With IWF
The Goldman Sachs MarketBeta® Russell 1000 Growth Equity ETF shows recent outperformance but hasn't proven its long-term mettle compared to iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF. IWF's larger AUM, lower turnover, and strategic tech sector exposure, especially to AI, offer a stronger investment case than GGUS. Despite GGUS's higher dividend yield, its higher turnover and unproven track record make IWF a better buy in the current economic climate.
