Under Radar Active Equity ETFs

ETFs have become popular in recent years, but as the space has grown, it's been harder for individual funds to break out. One ETF in particular, however, may be poised to explode out of the blocks.

Diving Into Concentrated Active Large Cap ETFs

American Century Focused Dynamic Growth ETF (FDG) focuses on growth stocks with 40 holdings and a reasonable expense ratio of 0.45%. FDG's performance is highly dependent on the Mag 7 stocks, making it volatile and risky; a small position may work in the investor's favor. Investors are advised to tread carefully and consider hedging with broader ETFs like iShares Russell 2000 Value ETF or iShares Russell 1000 ETF.
