What are the disadvantages of growth investing?

Post by Bola »

The disadvantage is the potential for greater volatility and an increased risk. This is because growth stocks often trade at higher valuations based on their expected future growth, it often means that if companies fail to meet their growth expectations, their stock prices will go down sharply. Growth investing also generally comes with lower dividend yields.
