NUGO is an actively managed ETF focused on U.S. and international growth stories with robust financial positions and strong returns on capital. With a portfolio of 42 stocks, NUGO is overweight in the internet software & services industry and has NVIDIA as its main holding. NUGO has high quality and impressive growth characteristics. However, valuation is unsurprisingly bloated.

Hello! This is MarketWatch reporter Isabel Wang bringing you this week's ETF Wrap. After a decade of seemingly never-ending fee-cutting wars, ETF issuers raised their fees in 2023 as the landscape evolved beyond cheap index-tracking funds.

ETF issuers defied investor expectations by raising fees in 2023. They may have to keep doing it.

Nuveen Growth Opportunities ETF is an actively managed fund with a focus on growth and quality. It is slightly inferior to the S&P 500 Growth Index regarding valuation and cash flow growth, but quality metrics are excellent.
