The bear market has many investors looking for clever buys that can elevate their retirement portfolios above major index returns. It's not reasonable to think that you'll consistently outpace the market over the long term. However, there are some interesting exchange-traded funds (ETFs) out there which can accelerate growth or improve income yield, whatever your preference might be.
Younger investors generally prioritize growth in their retirement accounts, and the Vanguard Growth ETF (NYSEMKT: VUG) might be the most straightforward and efficient growth-focused ETF on the market. This is a modified index fund that holds large-cap and mid-cap domestic stocks that pass six growth factor screens.
It currently holds 250 companies, with heavy exposure to large-cap technology and retail stocks. The fund is market cap weighted, making it heavily exposed to Apple , Alphabet , Microsoft , Amazon , and Tesla . These huge companies make up more than 40% of the portfolio.
