About HYGG
HYGG is the Hyperion Global Growth Companies Fund, an active ETF. Hyperion is a Brisbane based manager that picks a concentrated portfolio of global companies it believes can grow their earnings strongly for many years. It does not follow an index, and holds a relatively small number of stocks compared with a broad global fund.
The portfolio is built from the bottom up, company by company, and tends to favour large technology, consumer and platform businesses, mostly in the US. That focus means returns can look very different from the market: strong when quality growth companies are in favour, and painful when they are not, as in 2022. Income is low and unfranked, and the fee is well above an index fund. Exchange rate moves also affect returns.
HYGG may suit investors who want a high conviction growth manager as a satellite next to a broad global core. Alternatives include QSML and passive funds such as VGS and NDQ. See HYGG vs QSML and HYGG vs WCMQ.
