Summary: The best growth ETFs to buy are those that hold companies expected to grow faster than peers based on one or more fundamental measures, including earnings per share and return on equity. Growth ETFs tend to have outsize exposure to stocks in the technology, communication services and consumer discretionary sectors. Seek out large-cap growth ETFs with low costs and high liquidity.
Besides segmenting by size, such as small-cap stocks or large-cap stocks, and the sector type, including those defined under the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS), investors can distinguish between two investing styles: value vs growth.
