Capital Group Growth ETF

Capital Group Growth ETF (CGGR) is an actively managed fund of mostly US growth stocks. As of August 31, 2026, it had 95 holdings, led by Meta Platforms, NVIDIA and Broadcom. Several Capital Group managers each pick stocks for their own slice of the portfolio instead of following an index. It also costs more than most similar funds: its yearly fee, or expense ratio, is 0.39%, against a 0.18% average for eight funds with similar holdings.

• Over the year to Nov 2, 2026, CGGR returned +1.5%, 5th of 9 among similar funds.
• Its worst full calendar year was 2025 (+19.8%); its best was 2023 (+42.2%).
• The deepest fall in its price history was 28.9% (Mar 29, 2022 to Oct 14, 2022), recovered by Dec 1, 2023.

As of Aug 31, 2026, the fund held 95 securities; the ten largest made up 39.68% of assets, and 2.54% sat in cash and money-market holdings.

By sector

• Over the three months to Aug 31, 2026, investors added a net $1.39B (creations minus redemptions, per the N-PORT report).
• Monthly total returns reported for that quarter: -1.14%, -4.81%, +4.39%.

CGGR does not track an index. Its goal is growth of capital. It normally keeps at least 80% of assets in what Capital Group calls growth investments, and that label is broad. A company counts if it was in the Russell 3000 Growth, MSCI ACWI IMI Growth or S&P Super Composite Growth index in the current or prior year. It also counts if its revenue or cash flow suggests growth potential, or if managers expect it to add to long-term growth because it looks attractively valued or stands to gain from innovation or a turnaround.

The portfolio is split into segments, each run by an individual Capital Group portfolio manager. No formula sets the weights; position sizes reflect the managers' judgment. There is no scheduled index rebalance, so a stock can leave whenever managers decide it no longer looks relatively attractive. Portfolio turnover was 30%. That figure roughly measures how much of the portfolio is replaced in a year.

Up to 25% of assets can be outside the United States; as of August 31, 2026, 86.6% was in US companies. The fund is nondiversified, which means it may hold bigger stakes in fewer companies. Its 10 largest positions made up 39.7% of assets. It uses no leverage or options strategies. Like any ETF, its market price can differ from the value of its holdings.

• CGGR charges 0.39% a year, versus an average of 0.18% for the similar funds below (8th of 9, cheapest first).
• Using the prospectus's standard example, $10,000 invested would cost about $40 in the first year and $493 over 10 years (assuming a 5% annual return).

CGGR is a concentrated, actively managed growth fund that has swung more than the market and pays almost no income, so it may fit as a smaller add-on rather than a foundation.

CGGR launched in February 2022, so its record misses the 2008 financial crisis, the 2020 COVID crash and the start of the 2022 bear market. Its deepest drop, 28.9%, ran from March to October 2022. It then took about 14 months from that low to regain its peak, in December 2023. Its weakest full calendar year, 2025, was a 19.75% gain, but the record covers only three full years. Over the year to October 29, 2026, its beta was 1.38, meaning it swung more than the market. Withdrawals during a slump could lock in losses.

Income is minimal: the yield was 0.15% over the year to October 29, 2026, paid twice a year. Its 0.39% expense ratio, or yearly fee, is about double the 0.18% average for similar funds. Past results don't predict future returns, and a plan has to look at the whole portfolio, not one fund.
