Growth vs Value vs Blend ETFs

[Nathan]

Hey everyone! If one has a long term outlook (not looking for passive income) and isn’t particularly concerned about a risk-filled portfolio, why wouldn’t they want to use a growth ETF at say the Mid Cap and Small Cap levels over a value or blend style ETF? In my situation, they would be the only ETF’s I would have at those cap levels in addition to my Large Cap and International ETFs.

Thanks!

Mid Cap and Small Caps generally have higher beta, so you’re increasing your upside and downside. I would treat those as higher risk appetite plays than Large Cap. Regarding Growth vs Value, I actually really like both, but lean Value in bad times and Growth in good times. Nice to have a mix of both
