The Best Growth ETFs to Invest $1,000 in Right Now

The article recommends four growth ETFs for investors with $1,000 to invest. The Vanguard Growth ETF (VUG) and Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) are highlighted as strong index-based options with consistent outperformance. The Global X Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF (AIQ) offers AI-focused exposure with international diversification. The Ark Innovation ETF (ARKK) is presented as a volatile but potentially rewarding actively managed alternative. Growth stocks are expected to continue leading the market due to AI's early-stage development.
