Fund Details
Investment Thesis
Mid-cap growth is where future large caps come from — AppLovin, Palantir and Axon all graduated through this index. IWP owns the cohort systematically rather than betting on which one makes it. The trade-off is volatility: the segment crashed harder than large caps in 2022 and its trailing year has lagged as mega-caps dominated, which contrarians read as an entry point.
Who It's For
Growth investors looking beyond the Magnificent Seven for the next tier of compounders, with the patience to hold a segment that swings harder than the S&P 500 in both directions. Pairs naturally with a large-cap core.
