GARP focuses on large- and mid-cap US growth stocks that exhibit value and quality traits, or growth at a reasonable price. The selection process begins with the MSCI USA Index, where each stock is assigned a growth score based on five criteria: long-term and short-term forward EPS growth rates, historical EPS and sales per share growth trends, and current internal growth rate. Stocks with higher growth scores are selected until they represent approximately 50% of the parent index.
