The iShares Core S&P U.S. Growth ETF (IUSG) was launched on 07/24/2000, and is a smart beta exchange traded fund designed to offer broad exposure to the Style Box - All Cap Growth category of the market.
iShares Core S&P US Growth ETF offers concentrated exposure to mega-cap U.S. growth stocks, heavily tilted toward technology and communication services, with 64.3% in mega caps. The fund trades at a 22.6x P/E, a 12% premium to the Russell 1000, justified by superior growth and profitability metrics but not consistent peer outperformance. IUSG's methodology delivers high earnings (21.2%) and sales growth (13.3%), with a quality tilt via high-margin names like NVDA, MSFT, and META.

With a P/E of 39x and P/B of 10.22, IUSG reflects a mature market cycle and limited upside, especially if AI-driven momentum falters.

Despite its low 0.04% expense ratio, IUSG's performance lags due to lower tech exposure and high concentration risk, matching drawdowns seen in QQQ.
Rate cut bets, record highs and strong earnings power growth ETFs like VUG, IWF, IVW, SPYG and IUSG into the spotlight.
