VGT: The Nasdaq King That Could Deliver An Epic Rally
VGT is poised for a tech rally, with $90-110B in systematic flows likely and strong earnings growth from AI and cloud leaders. Favorable macro conditions—low volatility, resilient big tech earnings, and potential Fed rate cuts—create a 'perfect storm' for tech outperformance. VGT's large AUM, superior liquidity, and broad exposure make it the preferred vehicle for capitalizing on secular tech trends despite high valuations.
VGT: Passive Tech Needs A Better Screen
Vanguard Information Technology Index Fund ETF Shares offers a tech-focused ETF, but its methodology excludes key growth names like Amazon and Google, limiting its appeal for my ideal portfolio. The fund's concentration in top holdings and market-cap weighting increases risk and misses diversification benefits, making QQQ a better passive choice. VGT's historical outperformance is not consistent across decades, and its drawdown risk is higher after recent rallies, especially compared to QQQ.
