OriginaveDow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Growth Total Stock Market Index
What the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Growth Total Stock Market Index is, where it lives officially, and how its ride has looked over the years.
What does the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Growth Total Stock Market Index track?
Roughly 500 of the largest growth-classified US companies from the Dow Jones Total Stock Market family — picked by a multi-factor screen (projected and historical earnings growth among them) and weighted by size.
It hunts in the same territory as the CRSP growth index behind VUG: tech-heavy, expensive, ambitious. The recipes differ in the details, but the ride — spectacular 2010s, brutal 2022 — looks very familiar.
