The Large-Cap Growth style ranks fifth out of the 12 fund styles as detailed in our Q4'19 Style Ratings for ETFs and Mutual Funds report. Last quarter, the Large-Cap Growth style ranked fifth as well. It gets our Neutral rating, which is based on an aggregation of ratings of 25 ETFs and 698 mutual funds in the Large-Cap Growth style. See a recap of our Q3'19 Style Ratings here.

Figures 1 and 2 show the five best and worst rated ETFs and mutual funds in the style. Not all Large-Cap Growth style ETFs and mutual funds are created the same. The number of holdings varies widely (from 21 to 554). This variation creates drastically different investment implications and, therefore, ratings.

Investors seeking exposure to the Large-Cap Growth style should buy one of the Attractive-or-better rated ETFs or mutual funds from Figures 1 and 2.

Our Robo-Analyst technology[1] empowers our unique ETF and mutual fund rating methodology, which leverages our rigorous analysis of each fund’s holdings.[2] Only our research utilizes the superior data and earnings adjustments featured by the HBS & MIT Sloan paper, “Core Earnings: New Data and Evidence.” We think advisors and investors focused on prudent investment decisions should include analysis of fund holdings in their research process for ETFs and mutual funds.
