Motley Fool contributor David Dierking says the iShares Core S&P U.S. Growth ETF (IUSG), which tracks the S&P 900 Growth Index, merits attention for its large- and mid-cap mix. The article reports a 17.6% average annual return over 10 years and a 0.04% expense ratio.
The fund considers factors including sales growth, earnings trends relative to price and momentum. The article gives IUSG a forward P/E of 21.5, compared with 27.6 for Vanguard Growth ETF; Dierking attributes much of the difference to IUSG’s mid-cap exposure.
A closing Stock Advisor promotion says IUSG was not among the service’s 10 stock picks. It cites the service’s total average return as 937%, compared with 214% for the S&P 500, as of Sept. 27, 2026.
