Yahoo Finance Premium Millennial Generation Portfolio
There are now more than 80 million Millennials, born between 1982 and 2000 and ranging in age from their early 20s to their late-30s. This generation is the largest in history – bigger than even the Baby Boomers. According to our research, Millennials currently account for 24% of total U.S income – some $2.9 trillion in direct annual purchasing power, mostly representing older Millennials established in their work and families. The intersection of several trends – sustainability, healthier living, and an entrepreneurial spirit – has resulted in the emergence and growth of numerous companies well-suited to the millennial generation. The Argus Millennial Generation portfolio consists of 30 stocks that fit many of these themes. There are several new stocks on our new list, including:
Bio-Techne Corp. (TECH). This company is ahead of the Evolving Economy trend of biopharmaceutical outsourcing. We recently added this fast-growing mid-cap stock to our universe of coverage.

It designs and sells athletic apparel, and markets its yoga-inspired clothing under the lululemon athletica and ivivva athletica brand names. It also sells fitness pants, shorts, tops and jackets designed for running and other sports.
