TMFC: A Motley Fool Growth ETF With Mega-Cap Tilt

TMFC offers strong growth exposure with a mega-cap tilt, outperforming the S&P 500 and most peers while maintaining lower volatility and less stretched valuations. The fund is heavily weighted toward technology, communication services, and consumer discretionary, but avoids the extreme tech concentration seen in some competitors.

TMFC: Betting On Consensus Is Foolish This Late In The Cycle

The current bull market has lasted 16 years, pushing valuations to levels comparable to past bubbles like the dot-com era and the Nifty Fifty period of the 1970s. TMFC, an ETF tracking the Motley Fool 100 Index, heavily invests in popular high-growth stocks, with an average P/E ratio around 35, which is historically high and risky.

TMFC: Why Pay More For Less?

TMFC offers subpar total return performance and lower total return potential than its peers. I do not believe TMFC could ever outperform indices such as QQQ or SCHG due to a mix of its construction and liquidity needs. TMFC's constituents overall seem expensive to invest in right now due to inflated PEG and P/E ratios, making dollar-cost averaging essential if one is to enter or start a position.

Motley Fool 100 Index ETF is a large-cap growth ETF based on The Motley Fool's ratings and newsletters. Compared to the Nasdaq 100, the TMFC ETF is more concentrated in the top holdings, but less in technology and shows better fundamental metrics.
