Why the Move?
The large-cap growth corner of the broad investing world has been an area to watch lately, given the surge in the stock market. Both the Dow Jones and the S&P 500 Index hit new record highs and logged the best month of the year. Most of the gains were driven by the post-election rally seen on the back of President-elect Donald Trump’s victory. In particular, growth stocks tend to outperform in a trending market (i.e., a market characterized by a prolonged uptrend).
More Gains Ahead?

Many spaces that make up this ETF have a strong Zacks Industry Rank. So, there is definitely some promise for those who want to ride this surging ETF a little further.
