How it works
The fund tracks the WisdomTree U.S. Quality Growth Index. WisdomTree, Inc. designed the index and also owns the fund's adviser. To be eligible, a company must list its shares on a U.S. exchange and do most of its business in the United States. It also needs a market value of at least $100 million and a median trading volume of at least $1 million a day in each of the past three months. The index then picks the 100 large and mid-sized companies with the best combined score on growth and quality, which count equally.
The growth score is 50% the company's forecast earnings growth, 25% its five-year sales growth and 25% its five-year EBITDA growth. EBITDA means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The quality score splits evenly between three-year average return on equity and return on assets. Both measure how much profit a company makes from its shareholders' money and from everything it owns.
The index is reconstituted and rebalanced twice a year. At each rebalance, no stock can be more than 15% of the index. Between rebalances, a stock that rises sharply can drift above that limit. The fund uses representative sampling, which means it may hold a sample of the index's stocks instead of all of them. It must keep at least 80% of net assets in index stocks or close equivalents. The prospectus reports 40% portfolio turnover. The fund held no derivatives as of June 30, 2026.
What it really costs
- QGRW charges 0.28% a year, versus an average of 0.16% for the similar funds below (8th of 9, cheapest first).
- Using the prospectus's standard example, $10,000 invested would cost about $29 in the first year and $356 over 10 years (assuming a 5% annual return).
| Cost of $10,000 (SEC example) | 1 yr | 3 yrs | 5 yrs | 10 yrs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| QGRW | $29 | $90 | $157 | $356 |
In a retirement portfolio
Half the fund is in technology, its ten largest holdings are about 54% of assets, and it has swung more than the broad market, so it fits better as a smaller add-on than as a foundation.
QGRW adds a tilt toward fast-growing, highly profitable U.S. companies. It launched in December 2022, after the 2008, 2020 and 2022 sell-offs, so it has never been through a full bear market. Its deepest drop was 24.4%, from December 16, 2024 to April 8, 2025. It was back to its old high by June 26, 2025. Its weakest calendar year, 2025, was still a 19.2% gain. Its one-year beta of 1.47 means it has moved about 1.5 times as much as the market. Someone who has to sell shares in a downturn could be selling after a steep fall. It pays almost no income: the yield was 0.07% as of October 27, 2026, paid once a year. In the SEC's standard $10,000 example, costs come to $29 after one year and $356 after ten. Past results don't predict the future, and a plan should look at the whole portfolio, not one fund.
Who it may suit — and who should look elsewhere
May suit
- Investors who want a growth fund that also screens for profitability, using return on equity and return on assets, not just company size.
- People comfortable with heavy tech exposure: technology was about 49% of assets and NVIDIA alone 11.4% as of June 30, 2026.
- Long-term holders who don't need income from this slice and can ride out drops like the 24.4% fall from December 2024 to April 2025.
Look elsewhere if
- Cost-focused investors: QGRW charges 0.28% a year, compared with 0.04% for Vanguard Growth ETF (VUG) and SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 Growth ETF (SPYG).
- Anyone needing regular income: the yield was 0.07% as of October 27, 2026, and the fund pays only once a year.
- Investors who want a long track record: the fund launched in December 2022 and has not been through a bear market like 2022.

Questions investors ask
Is QGRW good for retirement?
QGRW may suit retirement savers who want a growth-focused slice of a wider portfolio, but it is not built for income or stability. Its one-year beta, a measure of how sharply it moves compared with the overall stock market, was 1.47 as of October 27, 2026. Its deepest drop since launch was 24.4%, from December 16, 2024, to April 8, 2025. It regained that ground by June 26, 2025. Its trailing 12-month yield was just 0.07%.
What's the difference between QGRW and MGK?
The main differences are cost and how stocks are picked. QGRW tracks the WisdomTree U.S. Quality Growth Index, which selects 100 U.S. large and mid-size companies scored equally on growth and quality. Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF (MGK), as its name suggests, focuses on the largest growth companies. About 68% of their holdings overlap. MGK charges 0.07% a year versus 0.28% for QGRW. QGRW returned 12.3% over the year to October 27, 2026, against 4.3% for MGK over the year to October 30, 2026.
What is QGRW's expense ratio?
QGRW's expense ratio, the yearly fee taken out of fund assets, is 0.28%, according to its prospectus filed July 29, 2026. In the SEC's standard example ($10,000 invested, a 5% yearly return, shares sold at the end of each period), total costs come to about $29 after one year, $90 after three, $157 after five and $356 after ten. The similar growth funds compared average 0.16%. Only one of them, T. Rowe Price Growth Stock ETF at 0.52%, charges more.
Does QGRW pay dividends?
Yes, but very little. QGRW pays a dividend once a year. Its trailing 12-month yield was 0.07% as of October 27, 2026, or about $0.05 per share. The small payout reflects what it owns: fast-growing companies such as NVIDIA and Alphabet, which tend to reinvest profits rather than pay them out. Retirees who draw income from their portfolio would mostly have to sell shares to raise cash from this fund.
What are QGRW's top holdings?
As of June 30, 2026, QGRW's largest holdings were NVIDIA (11.4%), Alphabet (8.0%), Microsoft (7.2%), Amazon (6.8%) and Meta Platforms (5.6%). The fund holds 100 companies, but the top 10 made up about 54% of assets. Technology stocks were 49.3% of the portfolio, so a slump in chip or software makers would hit it hard. The index caps any single stock at 15% at each twice-yearly rebalance.
