SLYG vs. RZG: Which Small-Cap Growth ETF Is the Better Buy for Investors?
RZG has delivered stronger 1-year returns -- but also comes with higher fees. SLYG offers broader diversification with lower costs.
Overview
Despite a shared focus on small-cap growth stocks, comparing the Invesco S&P SmallCap 600 Revenue ETF (NYSEMKT:RZG) and the State Street SPDR S&P 600 Small Cap Growth ETF (NYSEMKT:SLYG) reveals some key differences in expense ratios and portfolio concentration.
While both funds target the smaller end of the market-cap spectrum, each ETF uses different filtering criteria. SLYG tracks a traditional growth index, while RZG applies a revenue-weighting methodology to a growth-oriented subset of the S&P SmallCap 600.
Details
