This ETF Is 3 Times BETTER Than S&P500?!🚀

Ready to unlock the market's secret sauce? 🤫
2023 saw 7 stocks soar past expectations, rocketing a mind-blowing 107% return—outearning nations! From "FAANG" to the Magnificent 7: $Apple(AAPL.US)$ , $Microsoft(MSFT.US)$ , Alphabet ( $Alphabet-C(GOOG.US)$ $Alphabet-A(GOOGL.US)$ ), $Amazon(AMZN.US)$ , $NVIDIA(NVDA.US)$ , $Meta Platforms(META.US)$ and $Tesla(TSLA.US)$ . Hunting for an ETF that mirrors these titans' sparkle? Buckle up, let's ride! 🚀💸

Let's dive into the $Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF(MAGS.US)$ , the talk of the town focusing on those magnificent Seven giants! Since no index available tracks, this ETF demands active management – meaning a heftier 0.29% fee. Makes sense, our fund managers earn their keep, right? 😅 unlike passively managed S&P 500 funds, you can close one eye and choose either $SPDR S&P 500 ETF(SPY.US)$ , $Vanguard S&P 500 ETF(VOO.US)$ , $iShares Core S&P 500 ETF(IVV.US)$ , or equivalent. In this case, picking the right manager here is key! 🧐

Fresh off the bull run, MAGS ETF, born on 4/11/23, boasts a stunning 1-year return of 63.48%! 💰 That's a leap ahead of $S&P 500 Index(.SPX.US)$ (28.4%) & $NASDAQ 100 Index(.NDX.US)$ (42.16%). Sure, past performance isn't everything, but it's a tasty teaser. Equal slices of the Seven, plus a mix of stocks & total return swaps for capital efficiency – fancy finance talk for big gains, bigger risks (counterparty, default, rates). Personally? I dig physical holdings, but synthetic has its charm in this case. 🤓

Not sold on MAGS? No sweat! Two more ETFs on the radar.👀

$Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF(MGK.US)$ and $Schwab Strategic Tr Us Large-Cap Growth Etf(SCHG.US)$ – Familiar names = instant comfort, plus they've stood strong for over 15 years. Solid as a rock, indeed! 🗿
MGK keeps it tight with a 57% focus on just 7 stocks within 79 holdings, while SCHG spreads the love across ~250 cos., yet still manages a 51% Mag 7 weighting. Impressive balance! Both ETFs weigh in at a beefy $20B, give or take, with SCHG edging ahead slightly. 💰
Now, let's get down to brass tacks: fees and returns. SCHG knocks it out with a 1-year return of 43%, 3-year at 13%, and 5-year annualized at 19%. MGK gave a good fight, showed a similar trend, but SCHG dominated across the board. Past isn't always prologue, sure, but with fees as low as 0.04% (versus MGK's still-competitive 0.07%), SCHG shines bright. ✨
Oh, and a quick nod to $Vanguard Growth ETF(VUG.US)$ and $Spdr Series Trust Spdr Portfolio S&P 500 Growth Etf(SPYG.US)$ – they're in the same league, but SCHG edges them out, so they didn't make the cut for this chat.

Wrapping up with a classic, it's time for the benchmark ETF— $Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF(QQQM.US)$ by Invesco! Many of you tech enthusiasts probably know $Invesco QQQ Trust(QQQ.US)$ ; well, think of QQQM as its cooler, more affordable sibling from the same stable. Perfect for those in it for the long haul with a lower expense ratio. 🏃‍♂️
Delving deeper, QQQM encompasses roughly 103 firms, with the Magnificent 7 commanding nearly 40% of its portfolio. While not a pure "Magnificent Seven" play, this weighting significantly surpasses that of VOO or the S&P 500, which allocate less than 30% to these giants. All told, QQQM impresses with its returns, notably a stellar one-year yield of around 42%, coupled with a moderate expense ratio of 0.15%. It strikes a balance—not the costliest, nor the thriftiest option, yet sitting comfortably in the Goldilocks zone of affordability. Right in the sweet spot, if you ask me! 🎯💸
