iShares Morningstar Growth ETF has outperformed the broader market in recent years due to growth stock bias. Economic uncertainties and high leverage levels create a mixed environment for stocks in the short term. ILCG's high valuation multiples and volatility may make it less attractive compared to peer group growth ETFs.

iShares Morningstar Growth ETF holds over 300 stocks with historical and forecasted growth characteristics. Like many growth funds, the ILCG ETF is overweight in technology and in a few mega-cap companies. ILCG has outperformed the S&P 500 since its inception in 2004 and shows attractive quality metrics.

ILCG which focuses on large-cap-and-mid-cap stocks with growth characteristics has outperformed the benchmark by 700bps over the past year. Notwithstanding the recent performance, we don't feel ILCG is as competent a growth ETF as VUG, the largest offering in this space. The relative strength and standalone charts suggest that this is an overbought theme, and valuations are not cheap either.

ILCG is poised to disappoint in the current high interest rate environment, driven in part by its overweight to expensive high growth Tech stocks, and a potential resurgence of Value. Active managers are better equipped to navigate the current environment relative to passive funds like ILCG. Growth-oriented investors should consider QQQ as an alternative, which has consistently outperformed ILCG with similar exposure and volatility.
