The top performing mega-asset ETFs all have one thing in common:  Growth stocks. 

| View in browser Hi, Growth dominates the winners   The top performing mega-asset ETFs all have one thing in common:  Growth stocks.    Top performer ARKK actually has its largest weighting in healthcare (34%), with its 2nd largest weighting in technology (24%).  KOMP is heavily invested in technology (39%) and industrials (18%).  The favorite sectors in FPX are technology (38%), then communication services (20%).  JKH has its sights set on technology (40%) with a strong ownership of healthcare stocks as well (25%).  Finally, investor darling QQQ has the heaviest weightings in technology (45%) and communication services (19%).   What caused the worst performing ETFs to be negative in 2020?    Mainly, the bottom ETFs all have large investments in cyclical industries.  XMLV has strong positions in industrials (20%), along with consumer defensive stocks (16%).  Being a large value play, RPV is cursed with a heavy weighting in financials (41%).  SPHD's focus on dividends has it overweighting utilities (17%) and REITs (14%).  Focusing on high dividend paying stocks, SPYD was beat up for relying on financials (28%) and REITs (17%).  Finally, the "biggest loser" in the ETF Billion Dollar Club so far in 2020 is XSLV.  Small caps and low volatility were not the places to be in 2020.  Although it has a good presence in technology (23%), it was hammered by its reliance on industrials (23%) and financial services (16%).   Who knows what 2021 will bring?  Will the markets favor value or growth?  Small cap or large cap?   We believe it is all the more reason to be tactical/active in your approach to investment management.       Click here to visit our website Click here for current fact sheets For more information, please contact us via email, phone or chat.       Optimus Advisory Group manages liquid tactical and alternative investment strategies that meet the needs of our clients.  We use a disciplined, quantitative methodology to build and manage our portfolios.   Over a full market cycle, these strategies are designed to provide superior risk-adjusted returns while maintaining a low-correlation to traditional market indices.
