'Growth at a reasonable price' (GARP) is an investing strategy which fuses the best attributes of growth and value strategies.

One way to track the performance of GARP stocks is with the Invesco S&P 500 GARP ETF (SPGP). This ETF tracks a basket of stocks that have above-average growth rates with reasonable valuations.
