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.
