Vanguard Growth ETF

VUG tracks the CRSP US Large Cap Growth Index, which selects large- and mid-cap stocks with growth characteristics. The index selects stocks based on six growth factors.

The fund tracks an index of large-cap stocks in the US. Holdings are selected and weighed based on growth factors.

Large-cap tech stocks have been leading the S&P 500 rally in 2023, making tech-focused ETFs like iShares US Technology ETF attractive for aggressive investors. However, investors with moderate risk tolerance may find Vanguard Growth Index Fund ETF Shares a better alternative due to its diversified portfolio and lower risk. VUG's 46% exposure to the tech sector allows it to benefit from the sector's bull run while diversification into other sectors lowers the downside risk.

Vanguard Growth Index Fund ETF Shares and Vanguard Value Index Fund ETF Shares are Vanguard's most popular style funds offering exposure to the large-cap growth and value segments. They have a combined $187 billion in assets under management. VUG and VTV are growth and value cutouts of VV, Vanguard Large-Cap Index Fund ETF Shares, and one would expect a 50/50 portfolio to produce equal returns over the long run. However, my analysis reveals this combination consistently outperformed VV. Furthermore, it allows investors to efficiently target a particular style due to low fund overlap.
