For investors seeking momentum, Russell 1000 Growth Ishares ETF (IWF - Free Report) is probably on the radar. The fund just hit a 52-week high and is up 41.22% from its 52-week low price of $292.57/share.
But are more gains in store for this ETF? Let’s take a quick look at the fund and the near-term outlook on it to get a better idea of where it might be headed:
IWF in Focus
The underlying Russell 1000 Growth Index measures the performance of the large-capitalization growth sector of the U.S. equity market. The ETF has a major tilt toward the information technology sector, with a share of 48.38% of the assets, followed by consumer discretionary (15.84%) and communication (12.80%). The product charges 19 bps in annual fees (See: All Large Cap Growth ETFs).
Why the Move?
The growth segment of the broader market, which tends to outperform during an uptrend, is becoming an attractive investment option, given the dovish stance of the Fed and interest rate cuts in September and November. The increasing market expectation of another interest rate cut in December is acting as a key tailwind for the fund.
The rally in the market is further fueled by Trump trade optimism and positive AI developments, leading to strong returns in the segment.
More Gains Ahead?
Currently, IWF has a Zacks ETF Rank #2 (Buy) with a Medium risk outlook. However, it might continue its strong performance in the near term, with a positive weighted alpha of 36.45 (as per Barchart.com), which gives cues of a further rally.
