Market cap $106M

RZG aims to select S&P SmallCap 600 Index stocks with the strongest growth features. Its expense ratio is 0.35% and the fund has $115 million in assets under management. However, my analysis reveals its growth features are worse than most of its peers, including well-established broad-based ones like IJT and IWO.
