Mid-Cap Growth

Objective

The Mid-Cap Growth folio was designed for investors seeking aggressive long-term capital appreciation with volatility generally higher than the overall U.S. equity market.

Strategy

The Mid-Cap Growth folio consists of companies with high earnings growth potential as compared to the overall market. Mid-cap companies are defined as having market capitalizations between $1.7 billion and $11 billion USD.

This folio focuses on the long-term growth potential of medium-sized companies with attractive growth prospects. These companies tend to have successfully weathered their start-up years, offer proven products and services, have more seasoned management teams, and can often finance their own growth. Growth stocks generally have higher valuations and lower dividend yields than stocks of slower-growth or cyclical firms. Growth stocks also tend to be more volatile than value stocks. This folio’s broad diversification makes it potentially less volatile than more concentrated mid-cap growth mutual funds.

* Returns reflect unfunded model performance from the Inception Date to the present. Note that the data sources for determining the composition of the folio changed on 11/30/2018, which resulted in changes to the composition of the folio, and that performance after this date may differ from the performance using the prior data source. Your returns may deviate significantly from the values displayed here, due to many factors, including how long after a strategy has been updated that you place orders to update your holdings. No membership or trading fees (other than the indirect cost of the bid-ask spread applicable whenever a transaction is conducted) are included in reported performance.

Steps to Create This Folio

  1. We identified mid-cap stocks as those having market capitalizations between $1.7 billion and $11 billion.
  2. We screened for stocks with above-average earnings growth and sales projections compared to the sector average.
  3. We ranked these mid-cap stocks and targeted the sector weights to be comparable to those of the largest 500 securities ranked by market capitalization.
  4. We equally weighted all securities in the folio.

Number of Securities
