Aggressive growth

An investment strategy which aims for the highest capital gains and is not risk averse in its selection of investments. Aggressive growth funds are most suitable for investors willing to accept a high risk-return trade-off, since many of the companies which demonstrate high growth potential can also show a lot of share price volatility. Aggressive growth funds or stocks tend to have a very large positive correlation with the stock market, and so they often produce very good results during economic upswings and very bad results during economic downturns.
