Growth focused exchange traded funds top a six-moth trading high as Wall Street kicks off the second quarter. Two funds in particular that have notched 6-month highs include the popular Vanguard S&P 500 Growth ( NYSEARCA: VOOG ) and the SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 Growth ( NYSEARCA: SPYG ).
Both VOOG and SPYG trade near levels not seen since mid-September of 2022. Currently VOOG hovers near $231.40 a share while SPYG trades near $55.60 a share.
Growth names have traded strongly over the first three trading months of 2023 as the Nasdaq Composite ( COMP.IND ) has now gained 15.2% year-to-date. Many of VOOG’s and SPYG’s holdings fall in the tech composite which has helped fuel their topside moves.
So far in 2023 VOOG has gained 10.6% and SPYG jumped up 10.5% .
While VOOG and SPYG trade at six-month highs, they are not the only growth oriented funds that are hovering near these levels. Other growth funds that are also trading around 6-month highs includes the following:
