Launched on January 26, 2004, the Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT) is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to provide a broad exposure to the Technology - Broad segment of the equity market.
I upgrade VGT to a long-term buy due to its strong fundamentals, robust earnings, and leadership in tech innovation. VGT offers broad, pure tech exposure with low expenses and diversification beyond the dominant NVDA, MSFT, and AAPL holdings. The top three holdings generate massive free cash flow and continue to drive sector growth, especially with AI and cloud tailwinds.
Key Points in This Article: Vanguard Information Technology ETF‘s (VGT) 22.6% annualized return over the past decade outpaces the S&P 500, but its 43% weighting in just three stocks heightens risk.
