US equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, have performed strongly so far in 2023.

Why Now For U.S. Equity Income?

FFTY has an intricate, labyrinthine index-based strategy with a focus on growth stocks. The reality is more complex. Incepted in 2015, FFTY outperformed IVV only in 2017.

Leveraging the CAN SLIM Investing System, FFTY targets the 50 most promising stocks selected from around the 7,000-strong universe. The article provides an update on FFTY's performance and current factor exposure, with due attention paid to shifts in sector allocations.

FFTY: Deeper Delve Into The Portfolio, No Reason To Upgrade

FFTY is an extremely high-turnover, expensive ETF with poor risk dispersion owing to the high-conviction strategy with holdings limited to just 50 names.

FFTY ETF contains 50 companies curated by Investors Business Daily according to their CAN SLIM system developed by IBD's founder Bill O'Neil. This system selects companies on the basis of factors like high margins, margin expansion, sales growth and EPS growth as well as an innovative factor driving the trend.

FFTY: With Momentum Weak, Avoid This ETF

FFTY is a growth-heavy mid-caps-leaning fund with gargantuan turnover owing to weekly reconstitutions. The index it tracks encompasses 50 high-conviction picks selected from the list of around 7,000 equities, with a slew of growth and quality metrics considered.
